Ex-Iraq information minister set to make music
LONDON, May 2 (Reuters) - Iraq's former Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf, whose colourful daily briefings earned him cult status during the Gulf War, is to take Britain's night clubs by storm.
Record producers are planning to record a dance track sampling some of his most popular catch-phrases.
"It is set to be massive," one of the track's backers Les Molloy told The Sun newspaper on Friday. "There has already been a lot of interest from record stations and club DJs."
With his trademark beret and sly smile, Sahaf astonished Western television viewers by appearing each day behind a sea of microphones often to deny events viewers could see on their television screens.
He regularly berated British and American troops as "infidels" and vowed "God will roast their stomachs in hell."
