India,

> Saddam will have step down first. As a second step he will have to leave

make

> Sources said French President Jacques Chirac is in contact with the Iraqi

the

the

> In Delhi, the external affair ministry declined to comment on the sudden

> However, sources in the PMO have said that suitable locations to house
> Saddam Hussein are being shortlisted. Some of the options are Simla, Goa
> and Kumarakom.
>
> A final decision on the location will be taken later after the US gives
its
