Dupe story... Saddam Says He Siphoned Billions from Iraq

Edited on Mon Dec-29-03 10:30 AM by moroni

BEIRUT, Lebanon - Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) has acknowledged depositing billions of dollars abroad before his ouster and has given interrogators the names of people who know where the money is, a member of the Iraqi Governing Council said in remarks published Monday.

"Saddam has started to give information on money that has been looted from Iraq (news - web sites) and deposited abroad," Allawi told Asharq al-Awsat. "Investigation is now concentrated on his relationship with terrorist organizations and on the money paid to elements outside Iraq."
