Background and career
Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf (Arabic: محمد سعيد الصحاف; Muḥammad Saʿīd Al-Ṣaḥḥāf; born 1940) is an Iraqi former diplomat and politician. He served as Iraq's minister of foreign affairs from 1992 to 2001 and later became the Iraqi minister of information. Al-Sahhaf came to worldwide prominence during the 2003 invasion of Iraq when he acted as a spokesman for Saddam Hussein's government. He has been nicknamed Baghdad Bob and Comical Ali due to his colorful and blatantly inaccurate media pronouncements.
Despite being an intrinsic part of the Iraqi regime, his name was not included in the list of the 55 most-wanted individuals, nor was he put on trial, which raised questions.
