He admitted in a second TV interview that when he denied US tanks were in Baghdad, he knew they were there. But he said he was told the situation was under control.

Al-Sahaf declared: “I was Information Minister and fulfilled my duty to the last moment.”

”He’s been told we might want to speak to him again and he must stay at certain addresses in Baghdad.” The Pentagon refused to comment on his arrest or release.
