A Kurdish official claims ex-Minister Sahhaf has been hiding at his aunt's house in Baghdad for the past four days, and has asked United States troops to arrest him so he can be 'protected.'

Adel Murad, of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, says United States troops have refused to arrest Sahhaf because he is not on their 'most wanted' deck of playing cards.

It's just a matter of time until Hollywood agents start jetting into Baghdad International Airport to find this guy and get him out of the country.

The world cannot afford to lose a mad genius of a comic like him!

An Iranian paper said that he had hanged himself, but it sounds like he is very much alive and concerned about his own safety.. now he's asking the infidels for protection!

Have you ever seen his aunt? As a kid, he would have rather died than have visited Aunt Abdullah.

This was most likely a severe blow to this guy's ego when he didn't make the "most wanted list". He decided that it MUST be a mistake and attempts to negoiate his surrender, to discover that it wasn't a mistake.

Bagdad Bob: The only threat you pose are to the comics of the free world.
