Saddam's money in Germany?
Former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein is being questioned about claims he has billions of US dollars deposited in Japanese and German bank accounts, the Arab newspaper Al-Hyat reported Monday, citing anonymous "high-ranking" officials. Interim Prime Minister Iyad Allawi estimated the funds to be worth USD 40 billion, the report said. Al-Hyat said it had a document in which the Iraqi interim government called on the US government to discuss how the funds could be accessed.
