Two Iranian newspapers indicate Saddam's spokesman – who became internationally famous as "Baghdad Bob" and "Comical Ali" for his comedic hyperbole – has committed suicide.
According to reports in Mardomsalari and Al Wifaq, Iraqi refugees taking shelter near the Iranian town of Dehloran say al-Sahhaf hanged himself shortly before Baghdad fell to U.S. forces on April 9. No source was provided to confirm the claim.
