| Haidar: Sabri is safe | |
| 2003-04-14 | |
| Naji Sabri, Saddam Hussein's high-profile foreign minister, may have disappeared from public view but he is not dead, extreme-right Austrian politician Joerg Haider said on Monday. "He is in safety", the former leader of the extreme-right Freedom Party told private radio Krone Hit, describing Sabri as a "personal friend". "Ve haff musch in kommon..." "He has good connections the world over. We don't need to worry about him," he said, adding Sabri was not in Carinthia, the southern Austrian region of which he is governor. Haider, who last year made three controversial visits to Iraq and was twice received by Saddam, had offered Sabri asylum in Carinthia earlier this month. "There is always space in my home for a friend," Haider told News magazine. They can sit around in their brown shirts and talk about the good old days. He said he would offer Iraq's most senior diplomat, who is close to Saddam, a place to stay in the provincial capital Klagenfurt if he were chased out of Iraq by the United States. Haider said last year his visits to Iraq had led to substantial Iraqi investments in Carinthia. Investments = bribes. At the end of one of his trips he brought back several severely ill Iraqi children™ to be treated in Klagenfurt hospital. The children™ had illnesses that could not be cured in Iraq. You knew they had to work children into the story somewhere.
