Saddam's Stuff For Sale
The lovers of the macabre may find a website set up by Haitham Wihaib, a former henchman of Saddam Hussein, to be of interest.
The site offers for sale various items that once belonged to Saddam, including; a diamond-encrusted Rolex watch, a pair of Dior sunglasses, a ring and a Cartier pen.
It takes all sorts, I suppose.
