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)

I wonder if someone was holding a gun to his family's head?

There was the provocative, perhaps untrue, statement about the previous Information Minister not having any fingernails which tried to explain his verve in doing his job.

That has to be one of the best pictures I've seen on FR -- right on the subject! Someone has a warped sense of humor to come up with that (which I welcome).

Conservative warped humor is a great weapon against the evil ones of the left and their allies the Islamofacists.

One of our lady Freepers who is too sensitive to post that picture freepmailed it to me when the rumors that Baghdad Bob hung himself were posted. It has been a favorite for these threads.

Thanks from one with warped sense of humor to another!
