Baghdad calls for repatriation of Raghad Saddam Hussein

BAGHDAD / IraqiNews.com:  The Iraqi government called for the repatriation of former-president Saddam Hussein‘s daughter for being charged with terrorist crimes.   The adviser to the PM National Reconciliation Affairs added that other Baathist leaders were also wanted.   Saddam Hussein‘s daughter, Raghda, was born in 1967 and widow of  Hussein Kamil who fled to Jordan and returned back to Iraq where he was killed by his family in 1996.   She is living in exile with her children in Jordan as a guest of the royal family.   Raghad is characterized with strong personality and has many times called for toppling the present Iraqi government.   On the other hand, the Iraqi government continues to communicate with different armed groups to achieve a state of reconciliation, even with those who object to the political process.
