AMMAN, April 13: A member of Saddam Hussein’s extended family has been killed in Iraq after being taken hostage. The man, 36-year-old Jamal Kamel Hassan, was the brother-in-law of two of Saddam’s daughters. He was ‘taken hostage in Iraq and his captors demanded a million dollar ransom’, a relative said.
“A lesser sum was paid and Jamal’s body turned up at the Baghdad morgue,” the relative said.
