Saddam scrubbed from list of descendants of the Prophet Mohammed

The name of Saddam Hussein has been removed from the list of descendants of Islam's Prophet Mohammed, the head of the union of Ashrafs, who guard the genealogical tree, told AFP.

Al-Sherif Najeh Mohammed Hassan al-Faham al-Aaraji admitted that the ousted dictator had been able to cheat despite the great value and honour attached to the line which is guarded in Baghdad.

"Saddam had forced the origin experts to falsify his genealogical tree so that it went back to the Prophet," he said.

"We will inform all the experts, and particularly those who yielded to Saddam and agreed to falsify his genealogical tree. But the real trusted experts are very few in number and all refused."

(LOL! Next time I ask for an expert opinion, I have to remember to ask for a real trusted expert opinion!)
