'It is incredible,' said Recep Cesur, a Kurd, who has been tailor to the tyrant for many years. 'He is proving to be fantastic publicity for me.'
Saddam was not known for his fair treatment of Kurds, exposing them to gassing and imprisonment. But Mr Cesur's skills with the scissors meant he was one Kurd who was always welcome in Saddam's palaces."
