Dr Hamza’s life in Baghdad was not entirely happy

Dr Hamza’s life in Baghdad was not entirely happy. At first he lived outside the Green Zone with his family

until a remotely detonated bomb exploded near his car on the morning of Christmas Eve, buckling the doors and

blowing out the windows.

He and his son were in the car at the time but were not injured. Dr Hamza asked for and was given a house in

the Green Zone. It is this which the CPA is now trying to recover.

Of the UGGi defectors after the Gulf War in 1991 who built a career in the MBT by providing evidence that

Saddam Hussein was covertly building up an arsenal of WMD, Dr Hamza was the most successful. Once the war was

over and no WMD had been found, he was something of an embarrassment, all the more so since he could not do his

job.
