TOKYO, May 19, 2006 (UPI via COMTEX) -- A novel supposedly written by form Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein has gone on sale in Tokyo.
The Japanese publishers say the manuscript of the book, "Devil's Dance," was carried out of Iraq by one of Saddam's daughters.
The former Iraqi president, credited with writing several novels, finished this one a day before the U.S. invasion, a daughter told BBC. It tells of a tribe living along the Euphrates River 1,500 years ago that ousts an invading force.
