[RIA Novosti] US allegations that former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein was found by the US military in a pit where he was allegedly hiding are not true, an Iraqi translator who worked with the US military told RIA Novosti.
Thus, he refuted the canonical version of the United States about the detention of Hussein, used by the Americans for propaganda purposes. Thursday, December 30, marks the 15th anniversary of the execution of Hussein after the US invasion of Iraq under the pretext of searching for weapons of mass destruction, the presence of which in the country has not been confirmed.
"After his arrest, the situation was fabricated so that the American administration headed by (President George) Bush would get out (out of the situation), so that the coalition he had created against Iraq would not be defeated, so that US authority would not suffer because of the attack on Iraq under the pretext of having weapons. mass destruction and an imminent threat to the world," said the translator, who wished to remain anonymous because of fears for his safety.
Representatives of the Pentagon after the arrest of Saddam 13 December 2003 stated that it was found in a tunnel vertical depth of about 1.8 meters next to a farm. According to the translator, Hussein was actually in the room at the time of his arrest, he did not understand what was happening.
Gaddafi donated money to defend Saddam Hussein in court, lawyer said:
"Hussein was in the room, let the world know. "He was sitting in the room, I think he was praying because he was dressed in a dishdasha (traditional Arab clothing - ed.) ... He came out in this dress, he was put on ... let's say it is fabricated, as if he was detained when he was in the pit," said the man.
According to him, he himself could not climb into the pit, it was too narrow, and the president was already weak at that time.
"I was wearing a bulletproof vest, took it off and was able to climb into the hole through force, I could also get out with difficulty. Yes, there was a hole, but the information that the president was detained in the hole ... I tell you, he was in the room , he was detained in a room," the translator said.
According to him, it was "an ordinary room" with no means of communication. "It had only a wardrobe, two beds, a radio, a dictaphone, a small TV set, some clothes and shoes."
