Saddam's daughters to seek asylum in UK
Two of Saddam Hussein’s daughters are to seek asylum in Britain, a relative said in remarks published today.
Izzi-Din Mohammed Hassan al-Majid, a cousin of the deposed Iraqi president, said he was returning to London in a week to help Saddam’s daughters, Raghad and Rana, obtain asylum in Britain. If their asylum bids were rejected, the sisters would prefer to stay in the Arab world, living somewhere like Egypt, Qatar or the United Arab Emirates, he said.
