Saddam's uniform' up for auction

The uniform on sale resembles the one Saddam Hussein wears here
A military uniform said to have belonged to deposed Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein is being offered for sale by a US auction website.
The green uniform, with epaulettes bearing the mark of Saddam Hussein's rank in the Iraqi army, has a starting price of $5,000 (£2,900).

A US soldier found the item during the assault on Baghdad airport in 2003, according to the website, Manions.com.



We have only seen one other Hussein uniform here at Manion's, and it realised over $20,000 <£11,600> at auction," the auctioneer's website says.

US military orders prohibit troops from taking souvenirs and artefacts from Iraq except in rare circumstances, according to a US military spokesman quoted by the Reuters news agency.
