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)

If he's dead, my guess is that this is the Middle Eastern version of Arkancide.
He was rather preoccupied with the idea of suiciding one's self because of military weakness ... That's almost like he wrote his suicide note right there on screen, eh? Close enough for the gullibles.

The reports about him shaking down the reporters for $200,000 before he disappeared have been confirmed by other journalists who were there. I missed that. What did he say / do to get that kind of cash out of the impartial, objective reporters?

He couldn't have missed the truth about all those bombs.
He knew what was up.

They were security deposits to keep the reporters alive and well.

..al-Sahaf hanged himself .. If true, that is too bad. He could have had a good future on Saturday Night Live.
To: seamole
Naa, ole Bagdad has too much of an imagination to end such a promising career. He is out there on some obscure island enthraling the natives with tales of conquests. He will be Saddams successor within a year, I swear it, you infidels.
To: Grampa Dave
Some people need the clue "This is not real!". I'm assuming it has been doctored and "it's all in the mind". He could be swinging on a clothes pole or gynasium bar, too. There's no noose around his neck showing!!

Yeah, he hung himself and he shot himself 3 times in the back of the head to make it less believable right after he cut both his hands off.

I'm sure there's a dozen shrewd Arabs calculating their split if they find the big guys including Baghdad Bob. We don't want to look too anxious.

This doesn´t make sense. Why would he have then stolen $200,000 of Iraqi government money as he exited as reported a couple of days ago?

Good for laughs ping.

Poor BB, the kitty is the only who cares. :):):)

The cat doesn't care. It is hitting his foot wanting to know where its dinner is. Cats don't care.

I'm sure that if you was hanging on the rope and and it was their time to eat, they would be pawing your feet for their food.
