Saddam Hussein's sister has claimed Coalition forces must have drugged the deposed dictator to secure his surrender. Nawal Ibrahim al-Hasan told the al-Quds al-Arabi newspaper: "Saddam Hussein, hero of Arabs, would never surrender like this. He must have been subjected to drugs or nerve gas to paralyse him, for he is not one to surrender in this humiliating manner."
| "Hodges, give him a double dose of giggle juice before we put him on the teevee!" |
A shabby Saddam, 66, was pictured undergoing a medical examination after being arrested by troops on Saturday. He had not fired a shot during the raid.
| No doubt the giggle juice was administered before he was captured... |
Al-Hasan said: "Is it possible for a president to be humiliated like this and for the Americans to comb through his hair for nits? This is not the Saddam Hussein we know. He must have been drugged or injected with illegal chemicals. What happened is an insult to all Arabs and Muslims."
| Maybe Sammy was the insult to all Arabs and Muslims. Of course, they're a pretty easily insulted bunch, aren't they? |
She said her husband, Arshad Yassin, one of Saddam's special bodyguards, had also been arrested by US forces. Speaking from a safe place in an undisclosed Arab capital, al-Hassan warned that attacks against the Coalition occupation of Iraq would increase following Saddam's capture. She said: "The Iraqi resistance to occupation will continue and will escalate after his arrest because resistance is the only way and there can be no co-operation with occupation and occupying powers."
