Purported Saddam aide: Iraq's invasion helped Iran
The highest-ranking member of Saddam Hussein's ousted regime purportedly said the 2003 US-led invasion of Baghdad has ultimately served to make Iraq beholden to Iran.
In an online interview, a man claiming to be fugitive Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri called the invasion a "horrible crime in America's history" and said it was part of an imperialist plan engineered by the US, Israel and Iran. (AP)
