The Iraqi information minister, Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf, justly famous thanks to his numerous and somewhat comical protestations at press conferences, has resurfaced in Baghdad.
An Iraqi Kurdish official told a London-based Arabic newspaper that Mr Sahhaf was staying at his aunt's house in Baghdad, and was under surveillance by US forces. Captured then released by the Americans (although they deny this), 'Ali' is now working on a book.
