Sammy to speak?
Saddam Hussein is to deliver a message in the next three days, it is being reported. The claim was made by a previously unknown Iraqi group opposed to the US presence in Iraq. The Iraqi Resistance group said the toppled Iraqi leader was still alive - despite two attempts by the Coalition to kill him. "President Saddam Hussein was not killed. He is still alive. He is going to address a message to Iraqis and to the (Arab) nation within 72 hours," it said. The claim was made in a letter to the London-based Arabic newspaper Al-Quds Al-Arabi. The group goes on to say that Saddam "has come across evidence that some Iraqi officials had long been involved with American and British intelligence". It stressed it was not "the remnants of the (ousted) Iraqi government". The group denounced what it called "a disinformation campaign" by the United States to hide losses at the hands of the "courageous resistance". And it went on to claim some 211 British soldiers and 1,300 US troops had died in the campaign - a figure wildly a odds with official statements.
