I can't vouch for the quality of the source--I know nothing about the Arab Times (http://www.arabtimesonline.com/arabtimes/kuwait/Viewdet.asp?ID=9485&cat=a)--but this is, well, interesting at the very least.
KUWAIT CITY: A well-known Kuwaiti businessman is negotiating hard to own the noose which hung ousted Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein to death.
Reliable sources say the businessman's representatives have asked the Iraqi Ministry of Interior Affairs to sell the rope to them.
The businessman is apparently ready to pay any amount of money for the noose. According to sources, it is with Shiite leader Muqtada Al-Sadr and the businessman's representatives are negotiating with him.
The businessman had earlier purchased the vandalized statue of Saddam Hussein which stood at Al-Firdous Square in Baghdad. Sources say he obtained the statue through American representatives and exhibits the head of the statue in his diwaniya (sitting room).I wonder why he'd be negotiating with Al-Sadr? Hmmmm.
