Super-yacht has rocket launchers
TIMES WIRE REPORTS
Iraq says it has decided to sell Saddam Hussein’s luxury yacht after winning a legal dispute over its ownership.
The former dictator’s 269-foot super-yacht is fitted with swimming pools, salons, a secret passage and a rocket launching system.
France seized the boat Jan. 31 after it docked in Nice, where it remained while courts settled a dispute over the ship, which reportedly had been offered for sale at $35 million.
