BAGHDAD, Iraq (Reuters) - Ex-Iraqi Information Minister, Mohammad Said al-Sahhaf has just completed a press briefing in Baghdad, announcing a change in career.

 

al-Sahhaf, now that his duties keeping the Iraqi population informed of the real facts of the conflict are complete, has decided to go into advertising.

 

His first commercial, to be aired on Qatar-based al-Jazeera television on April 25th, 2003 will be for "Honest Ali's Car Warehouse", in Kuwait.

 

After completing his briefing, al-Sahhaf was taked into custody by US forces for questioning. He could be heard saying "I have you all surrounded. I have bound my hands as not to destroy you and give you a chance to surrender to my overwhelming force. Lay down your arms and walk back to Hollywood. All is good. The mighty forces of Iraq are in control."
