Iraqi refugees: Al-Sahaf committed suicide 15-04-2003, 11:46

Iraqi refugees who have taken shelter at Iraq's borders near the Iranian town of Dehloran over the week have claimed that Information Minister Saeed al-Sahaf had committed suicide, the Iranian newspaper, Mardomsalari reported Tuesday. A similar report was published in Iran's Arabic newspaper, Al Wifaq.

According to these reports, al-Sahaf hanged himself a few hours before Baghdad fell to US forces on April 9th. The refugees gave no source to confirm their claim.

In his press briefing on Monday, White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer, said the US government believed former Iraqi leaders, including deputy Prime Minister Tareq Aziz and al-Sahaf, may be hiding in Syria. (Albawaba.com)

Baghdad Bob claims that reports of his suicide are grossly exaggerated :)

[Cultural Jihad]

Then he ought to be hanging around somewhere still.

[kinghorse]

The legend grows (like his nose).

[tessalu]

I think that Baghdad Bob sent out this lie, to get the folks off of his back.

[the Deejay]

LOL! I thought Baghdad Bob was the least "wanted" by the US! He didn't make the "deck of cards."

[Coop]

Near the body U.S. Marines located a suicide note assuring Baghdad's citizens that no coalition forces were in the city, and that the infidels were burning inside their vehicles.

Is that a picture of Dusting Hoffman, the actor?

Wow! Until you said that, I never noticed! What a snahhhz!

[NautiNurse]

Baghdad Bob a swinger? No way!

[EaglesUpForever]

Not Baghdad Bob! Please, let this be as false a report as all of his reports... I want to see him move on to Syria and become Damascus Dan.

[FireTrack]

What a fool, he could have had a promising career at CNN/NBC/CBS or in Hollywood.

[Semper Paratus]

I choose to believe the report that he extorted $200,000 from the reporters in the Palistine Hotel before he boogied out of Baghdad.

[kabar]

Too bad. He could have had a lucrative career in TV ads. For example, Coke could hire him to say that Pepsi was the best soft drink in the world and that Coca Cola was terrible. He has absolutely no credibility. In fact, he is becoming a beloved figure. See this link http://www.welovetheiraqiinformationminister.com/

We Love the Iraqi Information Minister

"I can say, and I am responsible for what I am saying, that they have started to commit suicide under the walls of Baghdad.
We will encourage them to commit more suicides quickly."

[LizardQueen]

I really can't see him doing this. Doesn't seem to fit his personality.

Now if someone ELSE hung him, that would be more plausible.

[Anamensis]

I was hoping he'd get a slot on SNL. Alas...

"I want to see him move on to Syria and become Damascus Dan."

Good one!!

[RichInOC]

He couldn't live with the lies anymore.

[tracer]

Perhaps that is why he killed himself. He don't get no repect......
