Iraq bans visits to Saddam grave
| Local schools would often organise trips to visit the site |
The Iraqi government has banned all organised visits to the grave of former leader Saddam Hussein.
Hussein, hanged in 2006 after being convicted for crimes against humanity, is buried in his home village.
Loyalists still regularly visit the site of the grave in Awja, where he is buried alongside his two sons.
The government took the decision after schools near his former stronghold arranged trips for their pupils to visit the site.
In a statement, the government said it had sent instructions to the education ministry and local authorities banning them from organising visits to the tomb of the former president.
The BBC's Gabriel Gatehouse, in Baghdad, says the tomb - near Saddam Hussein's former stronghold of Tikrit - remains a place of pilgrimage for his supporters.
Thousands have visited the site since his execution on 30 December 2006.

The witch job that earns £50,000
A Job Centre is advertising a "witch" vacancy with tourist site Wookey Hole, in Somerset, for £50,000 a year. The witch, who has to live in the site's caves, is expected to teach witchcraft and magic. Wookey Hole staff say the role is straightforward: live in the cave, be a witch and do the things witches do. The advert for the post, placed in the local press as well as job centres, says applicants must be able to cackle and cannot be allergic to cats. The job has come up after the previous witch retired from the role. "We are witchless as the moment so need to get the role filled as soon as possible," said Daniel Medley from the tourist destination. More ... Source : BBC | |
Young slumdog moves into new home
Young slumdog moves into new home
One of the child stars of the Oscar-winning film Slumdog Millionaire has moved from his Mumbai (Bombay) shanty dwelling into a new home in the city.
Azharuddin Ismail, who played the youngest version of the main character's brother Salim, will now live in an upmarket suburb nearby.
He said his new home was "really nice" but he would miss his old friends.
A trust set up by the film's producers bought the property after Azharuddin's
family was made to leave the slums.
The Jai Ho Trust, named after the film's sound track, says it is still looking for a new home to buy for co-star Rubina Ali.
'Roof over our heads'
Azharuddin, nine, and his family moved into the property in the Santa Cruz area of Mumbai after being given the keys on Friday.
| Danny Boyle set up a trust which is supposed to look after the child stars |
"I like it here, it is really nice," Azharuddin told Reuters news agency. "But I will miss my old friends back in Bandra. Maybe I will go and visit them once in a while."
His mother said: "We have lived on the road for so many years. I had never dreamed that we would have a roof over our heads."
Slumdog Millionaire won eight Oscars in February and has made more than $200m (£140m) in box office takings around the world.
Film director Danny Boyle has strongly denied charges of exploitation.
The Jai Ho Trust bought the property on Azharuddin's behalf and it will become his when he turns 18 and finishes his education.
There was uproar in May when the family's corrugated iron hut in the Gareeb Nagar area of Bandra was torn down for being illegal. Rubina Ali's suffered a similar fate but she has yet to be rehoused.
