Man ! I guess they have different standards than we do. Groceries = luxury items ???

Neighbours and witnesses of the US attack have offered anecdotes that seem to confirm he was host to the two brothers. For instance, Mr Zaydan, who was hardly popular in the area, has been spending unusual amounts of cash on luxury items, notably groceries. Moreover, he was paying in cash on the spot, which apparently was not his normal habit. The local grocer, Thair al-Dabba'agh, said: "For about three weeks, Nawaf would buy expensive foodstuffs and pay for them up front, which is very unusual for him, so I figured he had important guests. But only when I heard the news yesterday, I understood that he was hiding Saddam's sons. When this huge US force swooped down on Nawaf's house a lot of things made sense."
