HTTP://WWW.STOPNATO.ORG.UK --------------------------- DAILY TELEGRAPH (SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA) 24th April 2002 SADDAM IN HIS OWN WRITE BAGHDAD: A romantic novel apparently written by Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has been adapted for the stage and will open on Friday in the Iraqi National Theatre. The Ministry of Culture is calling it the "biggest production ever". Hussein's book Zabibah wal Malik (Zabibah and the King), was published anonymously in 2000 to rave reviews from the local press. It is an oh-so tragic tale of a ruler who falls in love with an unhappily married woman who is raped on January 17, 1991 -- the same day US-led forces launched the offensive that drove Iraq out of Kuwait. Babel, a newspaper owned by Hussein's eldest son, Uday, said his father was most likely the author but "was too modest and humble to reveal his name". --------------------------- ANTI-NATO INFORMATION LIST ==^================================================================ This email was sent to: archive@jab.org EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?a84x2u.a9617B Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================ |
