#1 a series of pipes that shoot flames out the side of the car

I believe those are popular in South Africa as an anti-carjacking defense.

#2 Yup, carjacking being so rampant there; one of my ML ran by a south-african had a story about it quite a while back, IIRC (not sure), they're pretty extreme, to say the least, and banned by the gvt. I can sooo picture Saddam wanting one of theses flamethrowers for his car, probably related to his quest for Big Guns.

#4 He paid for it. It's not a war trophie, it's a souvenir. After customes get's done with their taxes and he realizes he cant register it the thing will turn into a lawn fixture. Hope he likes it.
