Red Cross delivers letter from Saddam to daughter AMMAN, Sunday (Reuters) A letter that Saddam Hussein wrote to his family from U.S. custody has been delivered to his eldest daughter in Jordan, the Red Cross said. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said the letter, collected from Saddam when officials of the Swiss-based organisation visited him last month, was delivered to Raghad Hussein on Thursday. "The message was personal...It had no political content," said Red Cross spokesman Muin Kassis in the Jordanian capital Amman. "Raghad has not sent a reply yet." Raghad 36, and her younger sister Rana fled to Jordan last year shortly after U.S. forces took control of Baghdad in April. After eight months on the run, Saddam was captured in December near his home town in central Iraq. |
