LESS than a year after her father was sent to the gallows, Saddam Hussein's daughter is facing charges that could lead to her execution.
Raghad Hussein, 38, has been charged with financing the insurgents who have bedevilled Iraq since just after her father's regime was toppled in 2003, an Iraqi Interior Ministry spokesman said.
Miss Hussein is believed to be living in Amman, Jordan, as a guest of King Abdullah. The spokesman, Abdul Kereem Khalaf, said the Iraqi Judicial Authority issued an arrest warrant for Miss Hussein a year ago but that it was only being made public now after Interpol issued a global notice that Iraq was seeking her.
"We have a whole file of evidence against her," Mr Khalaf said. "It is with the court. If you have the right connections you can see it. But basically she is accused of mass killings of Iraqis by funding terroristgroups."
He wouldn't specify which terrorist groups she is accused of funding, nor would he say what charges other than financing terrorism she might be facing.
Miss Hussein, like her father, is a Sunni Muslim"
