Coughlin, Con. "Iraq Executes Espionage Chief." Electronic Telegraph, 17 Oct. 1999. [http://www.telegraph.co.uk]

Rafa al-Tikriti, Iraq's head of intelligence since 1996, was executed on 11 October 1999 "for leaking information about Iraq's secret arms deals with Russia."

Con Coughlin, "Iraq Execution Blamed on Feud over Succession," Electronic Telegraph, 17 Oct. 1999, quotes "Iraqi opposition groups in London" for the view that the reason for "al-Tikriti's execution was the bitter rivalry between the intelligence chief and Saddam's eldest son Uday."
