A nephew of Saddam Hussein has been shot dead in a Yemen restaurant, a local news agency has said. The attack took place at a Chinese restaurant, where dining Ali Hamad Hassan al-Madjid started a brawl with a local merchant. Other guests to the restaurant managed to end the scuffle, and the merchant left the site. Shortly after, he returned with a loaded gun and fired at the nephew of the former Iraqi dictator. The murdered man was the son of Saddam's step-brother.
