Sahhaf got $200,000 for TV
interview
Baghdad | | 29-06-2003
Mohammed Saeed Al Sahhaf was paid $200,000 to give his first interview
since the war.
Al Arabiya, a television station based in the United Arab Emirates,
admitted that it deposited the money in a Dubai bank account held by
Sahhaf's son.
"We were trying to get the interview for several weeks. We managed to
get his agreement but only after we gave him some promises and
$200,000," said Dr Saad Al Hasani, head of Al Arabiya's Baghdad
bureau.
"He was very gentle and relaxed, but when it came to the end of the
interview he was very tough.
"He got all the tapes and took them outside to make a phone call to
his son. He asked if the money had been paid into his bank account, and
when his son said, 'Yes, it is OK', he gave us the tapes back."
