BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A U.S. auction house is trying to sell one of
Saddam Hussein's military uniforms online, calling it an "ultimate artefact" of the U.S. war in Iraq.
Manion's International Auction House (www.manions.com) is offering the olive green dress uniform, complete with Saddam's special rank on its shoulder straps, at a starting price of $5,000 (2,915 pounds), but expects it to sell for much more.
"We have only seen one other Hussein uniform here at Manion's, and it realised over $20,000 at auction," the auctioneer says on its Web site.
