According to well-informed sources, Saad al-Bazzaz, the owner of Iraq's al-Sharqiya news channel has married secretly Hawazan, Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri's eldest daughter, in early February in London.
In April 2015, the Iraqi government claimed that Mr. al-Douri, the former Iraqi Vice President was killed during an ambush. It is believed that Al-Bazzaz’s ultimate goal for this bizarre marriage is to enhance his position within the Iraqi insurgents loyal to Saddam Hussein.
A source close to Al-Sharqia media center which is owned by Mr. al-Bazzaz claim that Hawazan al-Douri who once married to Uday, Saddam’s notorious son, has demanded %40 of al-Sharqia’s shares as her condition for the marriage with al-Bazzaz.
After 2003 occupation of Iraq, , Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri’s family — aka Saddam’s red-haired devil–fled to Yemen and later immigrated to United Kingdom.
