Iraq to sell Saddam's luxury yacht

IRAQ: The Iraqi government will sell former dictator Saddam Hussein's luxury yacht, which was handed back to the state in July after a drawnout legal wrangle, the government spokesman said on Sunday.

The 82-metre (270-feet) Ocean Breeze, equipped with several swimming pools, a mosque, a missile-launcher and mini-submarine, has been moored among millionaires' yachts in a harbour near the Riviera city of Nice since November.
