+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- Iraq's Ex-Information Minister Appears on Arab TV
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- By Sarah El Deeb Associated Press Writer

+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) - Iraq's former information minister,
+AD4- who
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- gained notoriety
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- during the war for claims of victory, went on Arab television Thursday
+AD4- and
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- stood by his
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- statements, saying they came from +ACI-many authentic sources.+ACI-
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4-
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- In his first appearance since the collapse of Saddam Hussein's - an
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- interview with the
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- Al-Arabiya satellite network, al-Sahhaf did not directly back down
+AD4- from
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- some of his claims
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- during the war.
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4-
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- Asked where he got his information, he said: +ACI-From authentic sources.
+AD4- Many
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- authentic sources.+ACI-
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4-
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +ACI-And these also will be dealt with by history,+ACI- he said.
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4-
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- The interview Thursday came a day after Britain's Daily Mirror
+AD4- reported
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- al-Sahhaf he had been
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- taken into custody. The Dubai-based station said the interview aimed
+AD4- to
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- dispel that claim.
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4-
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- Defense Department spokesman Col. Jay DeFrank said the U.S. Central
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- Command had no information
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- on his being in American custody.
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4-
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- Al-Arabiya showed a five-minute segment of the 30-minute interview
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- conducted Thursday in a
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- Baghdad suburb.
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4-
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +ACI-The time is not ripe yet to say what happened. When's history is
+AD4- ready,
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- then we can talk about
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- it,+ACI- he said.
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4-
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +ACI-It was a difficult situation, not for one individual, but for
+AD4- everybody,+ACI-
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- he said.
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4-
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- Al-Sahhaf said he was not afraid of the future. +ACI-Everyone could face
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- something that hurts him.
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- But I don't expect that I will be hurt,+ACI- he said.
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4-
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- He appeared fit in civilian clothes. But al-Sahhaf was thinner and his
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- hair was white - a sharp
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- change from his previous look of military fatigues and black hair
+AD4- tucked
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- under a beret.
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4-
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- The full interview will include +ACI-important information about the last
+AD4- war
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- and the fall of the
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- Iraq,+ACI- Al-Arabiya said in a statement sent to The Associated Press.
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4-
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- Al-Sahhaf +ACI-was exclusively interviewed in his hide-out in Baghdad,+ACI- it
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- said, but did not
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- specify where.
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4-
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- Abu Dhabi television said it too had an interview with al-Sahhaf,
+AD4- which it
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- planned to air late
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- Thursday.
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4-
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- Al-Sahhaf appeared on television in daily briefings for the
+AD4- international
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- press in Baghdad
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- before and during the U.S.-led war, speaking about Iraqi military
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- successes and insulting
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- coalition forces, President Bush and British Prime Minister Tony
+AD4- Blair.
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4-
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- When Baghdad's Palestine hotel came under U.S. tank fire on April 8,
+AD4- he
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- had to admit that
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- coalition forces were in the capital. But, smiling, he made it sound
+AD4- like
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- it was all part of
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- Iraq's plan:
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4-
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +ACI-We blocked them inside the city. Their rear is blocked,+ACI- he said in
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- hurried remarks that were
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- a departure from his daily news conference.
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4-
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- Al-Sahhaf disappeared April 9, the day Baghdad fell. He is not on the
+AD4- list
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- of the 55 most
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- wanted Iraqi officials.
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4-
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- Al-Arabiya has been linked to the ex-minister before: A month ago, it
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- announced that it would
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- offer him a job as a commentator on Iraqi affairs if it located him.
+AD4- He
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- might not be credible,
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- the station's officials said then
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4-
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- Ali al-Hadithi, the station's general supervisor, said Thursday that
+AD4- the
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- issue was still being
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- discussed.
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4-
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +ACI-We managed to get the interview today.+ACI- al-Hadithi said
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfA F8AXw-
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- Where are they?
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- And again where are the Iraqi VIP prisoners like Tariq Aziz and aces,
+AD4- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4-
