Tyrant's rifle is in SAS hands
January 01, 2007
SAS troops have mounted Saddam’s famous hunting rifle at their HQ in Hereford.
The display of the war trophy — which Saddam fired repeatedly during his final military parade — reveals the extent of the grudge the unit holds against the tyrant.
They have never forgiven him for the killing of four SAS heroes in the first Gulf War, and the torture of four more.
It is thought troopers stole the gun from US forces who found it at the end of the Iraq War. An ex-SAS man said: “It’s there to remind us what we achieved.”
