Bushra Khalil, a defense attorney for Saddam, said that Raghad Ali, Saddam’s youngest daughter, wanted her father to be buried in Yemen ‘’until Iraq is free of the occupiers.”
“The children are crying,” Khalil said. ‘’His daughters are so very sorry and touched by this matter. I spoke with his wife. I tried to comfort her with some of my words. She was so sad. ... She says all of the days are black.”
Khalil warned that Saddam’s death will have violent consequences for Iraq. ‘’A volcano will erupt,” she said. ‘’A violent sectarian war will explode. There will be showers of blood.”
