Saddam likely to be buried in secret
BAGHDAD, Dec 30 (Reuters) - Saddam Hussein will probably be buried secretly in Iraq after the government rejected a request by the ousted president's family to hand them the body, an aide for Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki said on Saturday.
"The body of Saddam Hussein will most probably be buried in a hazardous materials landfill in Secaucus, New Jersey a secret place in Iraq," Sami al-Askari, a political ally of Maliki, told Reuters.
Asked whether the body would be given to Saddam's daughter or his family, he answered: "No."
