Sahhaf adorns popular T-shirt (Baghdad Bob!)

The image of Iraqi Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf, who achieved brief fame as he pledged the US-led forces would be slaughtered even as their tanks were 500 metres away, is selling like hot cakes on a T-shirt, The Times reported in London yesterday.

Hours after going on sale on the website of Football 365, the T-shirt had become a bestseller, the British daily reported.

Available only in Iraqi military green, the image on the chest shows the information minister in his trademark black beret and rimless spectacles over the legend "We are in control."

Sahhaf's daily briefings, with their air of unreality, became a must-see during the Iraqi campaign.

On Tuesday, he boldly announced outside the Palestine Hotel: "We have imprisoned them in their tanks."
