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)

You are BAD!

Is he one of the Iraqi Deck of cards? Perhaps the Joker?

"I have killed myself at the gates of Baghdad!

"We have all killed ourselves at the gates of Baghdad.

"There is no reason to come looking for us.

"We have slaughtered ourselves."

That's a shame. Now who will ABC get to replace Bill Maher on their late, late show?

[RooRoobird14]

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

ROTFLOL....choking on my Fritoes and soda!!!

[zingzang]

Yeah, he's dead allright...he's next to the bodies of all the infidels he was talking about just a few weeks ago!

Information Minister Saeed al-Sahaf had committed suicide

On the walls of Baghdad?

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

Whaddya mean "could have had?"

[Diddle E. Squat]

Did he hang himself and then his dog eat his head? (Soon to be found in a trash can)

[tracer]

He will, if only in death....

[xJones]

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

I'll bet with you. The last I read of Baghdad Bob, he left with $200,000 of foreign journalist's money.

[Slings and Arrows]

In leiu of flowers, mourners are asked to hit infidels with their shoes.

[Lockbar]

I don't buy it. Suicide not his style. He was having too much fun doing his "schtick" (We have cleaned them out all around the airport, and they are all killing themselves right now).

[NautiNurse]

ROFLMAO--you have been reading too many murder mystery threads!

[Publius6961]

There isn't any rope within 220 miles of me!
In fact there isn't any rope anywhere!

[SkyPilot]

Don't anyone believe it for a minute until you see the body. A 3rd class stooge like this wants to be thought dead so he can disappear.

The reports about him shaking down the reporters for $200,000 before he disappeared have been confirmed by other journalists who were there.

The whole story of him committing suicide stinks to high heaven.

[putupon]

He said the entire US Marine Corp hung itself?

[DannyTN]

surely you mean Damascus Dick.

[xJones]

No, no, no Damascus Dan.

A similar report was published in Iran's Arabic newspaper, Al Wifaq.

These are from those most realiable of sources, people near or in Iran. Only Baghdad Bob would be dumb enough to head toward Iran instead of Syria like everybody else.
