Saddam bars civil servants from leaving |
2002-07-01 |
President Saddam Hussein has issued a presidential order barring civil servants from traveling abroad. The order, dated June 24, prevents any Iraqi civil servant from leaving until further notice. The ruling, a copy of which was obtained by Iraq Press, was secretly communicated to Iraqi ministries. No reasons were given for the measure but senior officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Saddam was angry with the large number of Iraqi civil servants not returning home after leaving on official visits. Not to mention the number of them spilling their gutz about weapons programs on Merkin terriblevision. |
