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)

That explains Aziz, but I was told that Baghdad Bob was seen at the site after the bombing. Have I been bum-scooped?
Did they say how many pieces he was in?

Someone on Fox said we should give him a break.Ever since I read the piece by Eason Jordan about CNN's unethical behavior re Iraq, I cannot forget that he said that a previous Information Minister had no fingernails. I kind of feel for good ol' Baghdad Bob. He may have been just another one of Saddam's victims. He had been conditioned to get Saddam's propaganda out convincingly, or else.

You may be right. My husband had told me he'd been seen after the bombing, but I just asked him again and he didn't remember saying that, so... it would explain alot!

I was hoping he'd get a slot on SNL. Alas...I think he already has, last weekend.

Can't wait to see "Baghdad Bob The Movie" followed by Baghdad Bob the TV Series. To think that he could have had a promising career as a comedian.
To: CaptainJustice
Naw, Bob was last seen in a burka and fashionable high heeled pink slippers strolling down the road to Damascus.
To: governsleastgovernsbest
ROTFLMAO!

He was seen very briefly after the attack on the restaurant, I believe. He was at the Palestine Hotel the day it was attacked. The first day he turned up missing was when the statue came down. That's when the reporters said he and the minders hadn't shown up for work.

Okay, thanks! I'm oddly relieved that he wasn't vaporized.
