DAILY TELEGRAPH Saddam's stepson holds UK certificate ========================== By Paul Chapman in Wellington (Filed: 08/07/2002) Saddam Hussein's stepson, who was arrested by the FBI on the eve of the Fourth of July after arriving in Florida for a flight training course, holds a British flight engineer's certificate and was taking the course to keep it current. Mohammad Nour al-Din Saffi, 35, a naturalised New Zealand citizen, flew from Auckland to Los Angeles last week and then on to Miami for a four-day flight simulator course at the Aeroservice Aviation Centre. The centre was attended by Ziad Jarrah, one of the September 11 hijackers. Jimmy Brooks, chief executive of the fledgling American-owned Tiger Lines Cargo air service based in Auckland, said his company was paying the bill for Mr Saffi's flight simulator training as he had been offered part-time work with Tiger. "He wanted to keep his British licence current," Mr Brooks said. Mr Saffi, who works as an aircraft engineer for Air New Zealand, was attending the course with two American pilots who will fly the company's US-registered Boeing 727 airliner on freight-carrying flights linking New Zealand airports with Tonga and other South Pacific islands "The only American soil it will reach is American Samoa," Mr Brooks, an American citizen, said. --------------------------- ANTI-NATO INFORMATION LIST ==^================================================================ This email was sent to: archive@jab.org EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?a84x2u.bacIlu Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================
