RED CROSS VISITS SADDAM HUSSEIN

The International Red Cross have visited former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein in custody.

Two members of the humanitarian group, including a doctor, conducted a physical and mental examination of the deposed Iraqi leader.

Red Cross spokesman Muin Kassis told Sky News the two officials had been granted a private visit, but said details of Saddam Hussein's condition would remain confidential under the terms of the Geneva Convention.

However Mr Kassis did reveal that Saddam had given the workers a message to pass onto his family.

"The fact that the visit took place is a positive thing and we hope that there will be more visits in the future," he said.
