Saddam
Hussein's mother-in-law was being questioned by US forces
last night after troops were led to her home by a specially
trained dog*.
It
is believed that the woman is keen to tell authorities about
a number of things that 'really ticked' her off about her
son-in-law.
These
things are believed to be of a highly personal nature, and
are not likely to include details of alleged weapons of mass
destruction.
There
have been a number of attempts on the woman's life since the
marriage of her daughter, 15 years ago; all of these attempts
failed as she makes sure to put on up to 7 layers of protective
clothing, including a gas mask, whenever she goes out of her
house.
She
told MTV, who filmed the arrest:
"I'll
tell them everything, everything!"
The
arrest of Saddam's mother-in-law is a coup for the liberation
forces.
She
was not included in the official 'card deck of evil'.

Background * --
The
US army has around 20 dogs in Iraq, trained to look for old
people.
Old people have a particular smell which dogs can be trained
to find.
Asked
to describe the smell, dog trainer, Corporal Tom Travers,
told us:
"To
human noses the smell is little like a 'minty boiled cabbage".
