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 can see Baghdad Bob and Monica sharing a beret, a cigar, and knee pads to service their Clintoon.
Baghdad Bob would a perfect screaming head for the Rats on tv shows.

Yes, I think a Baghdad Bob Memorial Candlelight Vigil Thread would be in order. I really miss the guy!

To: conservababeJen
man I hope not ... of course I don't know everything about this guy, I was just hoping he'd surrender to U.S. / British forces and tell everyone that he was tired of lying for Saddam Hussein ...

Yes. I don't think he went to the trouble of extorting all that money just to buy himself a rope.

"
They are in shock and awe that Baghdad Bob may be no more."
Baghdad Bob would have made a good Democrat. At least his denials nearly paralleled Bubba Clinton's.

Con Coughlin says on Fox that Baghdad Bob and Tariq Aziz (but not Saddam) were killed in the restaurant strike.

Looks like CNN may have reneged on the Bureau Chief job.

He held a news conference today saying,
"This is not Hell, there are no fires, no one is poking me with a pitch fork. And if this was hell there would be infidels all around me, which there are not, so this must not be hell."

That explains Aziz, but I was told that Baghdad Bob was seen at the site after the bombing. Have I been bum-scooped?

I'll believe it when I see his body. Did they take a close look at the 'refugees' making these claims?? Are we sure it wasn't Baghdad Bob himself claiming he committed suicide??
