Raghad Saddam Hussein
A lawyer of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein\'s eldest daughter, Raghad, has revealed his client is searching for an international publisher for her father\'s hand-written autobiography.
The lawyer, Haytham al-Harsh told United Press International (UPI) that Saddam\'s autobiography consisted of several chapters chronicling Saddam\'s life, while Harsh refused to give an estimated date for the publication, saying it would be decided by the publisher after a deal is reached with Raghad.
Saddam\'s lawyer, Khalil al-Daylami published a book in 2009 about Saddam Hussein about his life in a US jail and based on Daylami\'s conversations with Saddam during his imprisonment. Saddam\'s daughter has however claimed some information in the book is untrue.
The Iraqi dictator was executed in December 2009, after an Iraqi court convicted him of committing anti-humanitarian crimes. His eldest daughter, Raghad and her children moved to Jordan after the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, invited by the Jordanian royal family. Since then, Jordan has refused several Iraqi demands to hand over Raghad, as Iraqi authorities accuse her of funding \"terrorist activities\".
