...a memo from the country's secret service to Saddam's office outlining talks between the MP and an agent on Boxing Day 1999, during which Mr Galloway is alleged to have said he needed "continuous support from Iraq". The MP has told this newspaper that the meeting did not take place but said he did spend one Christmas in Iraq, but could not be sure which one.
From the "I did not know that" file:
Boxing Day is a national holiday in England, Ireland, and Australia. It is celebrated on December 26th.
