In a bit of news from the past.. the Iraqi government today has announced they will sell the personal property of their own past celebrity, Saddam. Ocean Breeze, Hussseins yacht features swimming pools, an operating room , a helipad and an escape tunnel leading to a submarine.(( sound a touch paranoid to you??)
It is expected to bring in around 20 million, with brokers claiming the vessel’s history will be “a good selling point”.
Iraq was granted ownership of the yacht, which was built in a Danish shipyard in 1981, following a legal dispute with a Jordanian company.
The yacht features such amazing decor as mahogany carvings, gold tap fittings and deep-pile carpets, reports the BBC.
Hussein never stayed on the yacht because of political instability in Iraq. It has been moored in Saudi Arabia and the French port of Nice since it was built.
