Comical Ali back on TV
The former Iraqi information minister whose wildly implausible claims of victory during the war led to him being dubbed “Comical Ali”, has made his first TV appearance since the collapse of Saddam Hussein’s regime.
The Gulf Al-Arabiya satellite network yesterday showed a few seconds of footage of Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf and said it had conducted a 30 minute interview in Baghdad with him, which was to air today.
