Two of Saddam's daughters arrive in Jordan.
(From Agence France Presse)
Two daughters of ousted Iraqi president Saddam Hussein arrived in Jordan accompanied by nine children and were granted official protection, a high-ranking official told AFP.
A close relative said the daughters, Raghad and Rana, and their children flew in from Syria, where they had fled two weeks after the fall of Baghdad.
King Abdullah II has agreed to host them "for humanitarian reasons and because of the difficult situation in their country," the official from the royal palace said, requesting anonymity.
"We do not know how long they will stay in Jordan. The fact is that they benefit from Jordanian protection as long as they are in the country," he added.
Raghad and Rana were married respectively to Hussein Kamel Hassan and his brother Saddam Kamel Hassan, who both defected to Jordan in 1995 with their wives and a total of seven children.
The families returned to Iraq in February 1996, but the two men, their brother and a sister, as well as other family members, were assassinated by Saddam's regime after being accused of treason.
