BBC: A television channel dedicated to former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein has appeared on Arab satellite networks.
Its launch came on the third anniversary, on the Islamic calendar, of the former president's execution.
It is not clear who is behind the channel which broadcasts the speeches, images and even poetry of Saddam Hussein, backed with patriotic music.
It is broadcast from outside Iraq and some analysts suspect his former political supporters of bankrolling it.
Saddam Hussein's family and some exiled members of the Baath party he once headed have denied any connection to it.
The Associated Press news agency said it contacted a man called Mohammed Jarboua who claimed to be the channel's chairman, in the Syrian capital Damascus. However, his claim can not be verified. 'Glorification of a tyrant' >>> | Monday, November 30, 2009
