Saddam Husseins Possesions Forsale Online
30th Sep 2007
Haitham Rashid Wihaib, once the right-hand man of Saddam Hussein, is selling gifts that he claims Saddam gave him in an effort to raise over $700,000 for Iraqi schools.
Wihaib worked for more than a decade as the Iraqi Chief of Protocol under Saddam Hussein, and has now set up Wihaib.com where he is accepting bids for a variety of Saddam's former possessions, including watches, jewelry, clothing, and pens.
The highlight and centerpiece of Wihaib's collection is a custom-made gold Rolex watch featuring dozens of diamonds laid into the watch face and bracelet valued at $200,000.
So far none of the souvenirs have sold, but Wihaib did say, "This is for a good cause so I am not going to stop. People may say these things didn't belong to Saddam and that I cannot prove it, but they are wrong.
