UK Paper Prints More Photos of Saddam in Jail

World | May 21, 2005, Saturday // 00:00

A British tabloid published more revealing photographs of Saddam Hussein in US custody on Saturday, a day after it ran a front-page picture of the former Iraqi leader naked except for his underwear. The international Red Cross said the photographs violated Saddam Hussein's right to privacy. The US military condemned the publication and ordered an investigation of how the pictures were leaked to The Sun. Saturday's pictures included one of Saddam seen through barbed wire wearing a white robe-like garment, and another of Ali Hassan al-Majid, better known as "Chemical Ali," in a bathrobe and holding a towel. Saddam's chief lawyer, Ziad al-Khasawneh, said he would sue the newspaper "and everyone who helped in showing these pictures."
