A half-sister of toppled Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, her husband and their children are in Jordan where they found refuge some two weeks ago, a relative told AFP on Tuesday. 

 

Omm Omar al-Naqeeb, her husband Hassan al-Naqeeb, a businessman, and their four children arrived in Jordan in late July, the relative, who requested anonymity, said. 

 

Omm Omar is one of seven children born to Saddam's mother from her second marriage after her first husband (Saddam's father) died when Saddam was a baby. (Albawaba.com)
