| In an open letter, Saddam Hussein told Iraqis “victory was at hand” and urged insurgents to show magnanimity to opponents, saying he himself forgave Iraqis who aided the killers of his two sons.
In the letter dictated to his chief lawyer Khalil Dulaimi during a four-hour meeting on Saturday in his prison, the former Iraqi leader also said Iraqis should put aside differences and set only one goal – to drive U.S. troops out of “Victory is at hand but don’t forget that your near-term goal is confined to liberating your country from the forces of occupation,” Saddam said in the letter, a copy of which was obtained by Reuters on Sunday. |
