Five years after the fall of Saddam Hussein, his memory lives on through wrist watches as people in his home town and birth village seek reminder of a time of safety, jobs and cheap living.
Watches featuring an image of the former Iragi leader on the watches sell like hot cakes in his hometown of Tikrit.
Prince Harry returned to Britain on March 1, 2008 after his 10-week stint serving in Afghanistan was cut short by media disclosure of his secret deployment. Harry, soldier prince, third in line to the British throne, a second lieutenant, was withdrawn from his deployment after the once closely guarded secret became public.
His mission had previously gone undisclosed under an agreement between the Ministry of Defence and major news organizations designed to protect the 23-year-old prince and his fellow soldiers.
According to a report, Taliban intelligence knew of the prince's presence, despite the media blackout and its deputy commander, Mullah Abdul Karim, had received an urgent message from Taliban intelligence in late December or early January that "an important chicken" had joined British troops in his area of operations. Karim sent his men hunting for the prince. "He is our special enemy" he said. "Our first option was to capture him and the second to kill him"
