Saddam's doctors: his health is good permits him to hide for years

Doctors of the toppled Iraqi President Saddam Hussein who were trusted by him said he was in a good health condition during his presidency of Iraq and that he enjoys ability and the experience to hide for many years.

The doctors who asked to be anonymous said that Saddam Hussein who was born in 1937 can be expected to live for years and that he is not of the sort to commit suicide even if he is about to be jailed.

One of the doctors said "I have not seen Saddam for a while but he is in a good health condition that permits him to live in hiding for a long period.. he did not get medication for any serious case."

The Iraqi doctor who fled from Iraq before the war and returned back after it had ended said "Saddam used to practice sport and boxing to maintain physical fitness."
