Jordan Bans New Saddam Book

The country of Jordan has banned sales of Saddam Hussein’s latest book. “The former Iraqi dictator is behind bars and stripped of power but Jordan was anxious enough to ban his tale yesterday, claiming it could damage regional relations. Some 10,000 copies had been printed for this week’s launch, a literary and political event authorised by Saddam’s daughter, Raghad, who is based in Jordan.”
