Twenty years ago, soon after the statue of Saddam Hussein in Firdaus ('Paradise') Square in central Baghdad was torn from its plinth (with the help of a US Army crane), I got up early one morning to look at what remained of it. There I met two brothers, Sobar and Favid, who told me they were worried that 'remnants' of the Saddam regime might try to take vengeance for his defeat.,
They were not wrong. 
This is a short interview with them, in Firdaus Square, in April 2003.
