Saddam's Daughter Says Dad Was Betrayed

AMMAN, Jordan -- Saddam Hussein's daughter said Friday that the swift fall of the Iraqi capital on April 9 came as a "great shock" and she blamed it on a betrayal by associates of the deposed leader.

Raghad Saddam Hussein, who received sanctuary a day earlier with her sister Rana in Jordan, appeared relaxed as she gave an interview to the Arab satellite station al-Arabiya.

"With regret, those my father trusted, whom he had put his absolute confidence in and whom he had considered on his side -- as I understood from the newspapers -- betrayed him," Raghad said.
