A luxury yacht that belonged to the former dictator of Iraq is set to house some of his former subjects.

Saddam Hussein, who was executed in 2006, reportedly did not get to use the 270-feet (82-metre) Basrah Breeze (built 1981). It was fitted with a private suite, dining and living quarters, and quarters for 17 guests.

But due to the the Iran-Iraq war, Hussein did not have the time to enjoy the $30m vessel, having it moved to then ally Saudi Arabia to safeguard it.
