| Al-Bawaba: "Baghdad Bob" takes the coward’s way out |
| 2003-04-15 |
| Considering the source, the use of salt is recommended. Iraqi refugees who have taken shelter at Iraq's borders near the Iranian town of Dehloran over the week have claimed that Information Minister Saeed al-Sahaf had committed suicide, the Iranian newspaper, Mardomsalari reported Tuesday. A similar report was published in Iran's Arabic newspaper, Al Wifaq. "Lies! All lies! It is the invaders who are committing suicide at the gates of Baghdad!" According to these reports, al-Sahaf hanged himself a few hours before Baghdad fell to US forces on April 9th. The refugees gave no source to confirm their claim. "This cannot be true because Baghdad has never fallen. Even Robert Fisk agrees with me!" |

| #1 In fake news from hell today, Saeed al-Sahaf denied reports of his death. "I am not dead!" he said at a press conference attended primarily by late CNN bureau chiefs. While CNN's reputation in hell is one of integrity and accuracy, some from hell's higher circles are suggesting that the bureau chiefs are taking al-Sahaf's claims that he still lives at face value because they don't want to risk losing access to Satan. "Hell is a simply a place one has to have a bureau," said Eason Jordan, speaking on behalf of CNN's living correspondants. "Sure, Satan is the Father of All Lies," but spreading his lies makes us look good, and that's what's most important." |
