BBC NEWS | Middle East | Iraq fails to sell Saddam's yacht: "The Iraqi government's attempts to sell a luxury yacht that once belonged to Saddam Hussein have foundered.

Despite features including a missile launcher and operating theatre, no-one was willing to pay $30m for the 82m (270ft) Basrah Breeze.

The vessel, which will be towed back to Iraq from Europe, also has an escape tunnel leading to a mini-submarine.

Baghdad officials have blamed the global economic slump for their failure to find a buyer."
