Iraqi Minister of Culture, Mufeed Muhammad Jawad Al Jazairee was quoted as saying Wednesday that the former Information Minister, Muhammed Said al Sahaf is suspected of stealing 10 vehicles, owned by the Iraq National Museum.
According to Jazairee, "there is an option to take legal action against Muhammed Said al Sahaf on charges of theft."
The Culture Minister added that he took part in a general symposium of the Museum workers and heard from them that prior to the war, al Sahaf came to the Museum and took ten vehicles, while threatening to use force by weapons, if anyone would stop him.
The Culture Minister further said he asked the workers to contact the legal authorities to inform them about the issue. If indeed their claim turns out to be true, Iraq will request the arrest of Al-Sahaf, Jazairee conveyed.
One of the U.S.-led war's biggest phenomena was perhaps the enormous popularity of Saddam's Information Minister, due to the frequent "statements" he issued while appearing on television.
Recently, al Sahaf has left Iraq and reportedly moved to the United Arab Emirates with his family.
