Don't get your hopes up high Dr. Germ will spill the beans. I heard these religious NUTS have taken an oath of silence on the Koran! Nothing will come out of Dr. Germ, NOPE not even torture will make her tell!

That would be "Dr Germ", married to Mr al-Ubaydi the ex-oil minister ("Missile Man"). Apparently they have a young daughter- Germolene?
