    Ex-Marine Says Public Version of Saddam Capture Fiction
    United Press International

    A former U.S. Marine who participated in capturing ousted Iraqi President Saddam Hussein said the public version of his capture was fabricated.

    Ex-Sgt. Nadim Abou Rabeh, of Lebanese descent, was quoted in the Saudi daily al-Medina Wednesday as saying Saddam was actually captured Friday, Dec. 12, 2003, and not the day after, as announced by the U.S. Army.

    "I was among the 20-man unit, including eight of Arab descent, who searched for Saddam for three days in the area of Dour near Tikrit, and we found him in a modest home in a small village and not in a hole as announced," Abou Rabeh said.

    "We captured him after fierce resistance during which a Marine of Sudanese origin was killed," he said.

    He said Saddam himself fired at them with a gun from the window of a room on the second floor. Then they shouted at him in Arabic: "You have to surrender. ... There is no point in resisting."

    "Later on, a military production team fabricated the film of Saddam's capture in a hole, which was in fact a deserted well," Abou Rabeh said.

    Abou Rabeh was interviewed in Lebanon.

    Lies are the tool of the power hungry.

    Nice exercise to cultivate "out of the box thinking"
    Still hard to sell even to the typical "North African conspiracy theorist"

    Irakis are so lucky

    Do you think we will be as lucky as they are and watch Bouteflika, Zerhouni, Larbi Belkheir and all the algerian mafia end their reign of terror in a hole ?
