[Baghdadi2007]

The Iraqi General Adnan Khair allah (Saddam's Cousin) was selected as minister of Defence in Iraq since 1979 and up to 1988 . When the Iraq-iran war 1980-88 ended, he was killed by destroying his helicopter plane in air in 1988, the truth of his kiling is still misterious up to date.

Anyway he was granted through these years in Saddam's Era the following medals & orders:

on Feb, 1, 1987 - Order of Two Rivers (Rafidein) military type 1st degree.

on the same date above also granted - 5 Bravery Medals.

on the same date above also granted - Order of Iraq-Iran War (Qadisseiyyat)1st degree & also 2 Bravery Medals.

on September, 27, 1988 - 4 Bravery Medals.

The Pic attached here was for General Adnan's Statue in Baghdad near to Al-Shuhada (martyers) Bridge, now the statue was not available.

also General Adnan was granted the Order of hero of Qaddiseiyyah Battle. which is today considered as one of most rarest orders in Iraq.

Thanx.

Wow: We passed this statue many times in Baghdad, Iraq and we were never able to get to close to it to see who it was, We always thaught it was Saddam the former Ruler of Iraq. Oh how we learn so much each day.........

Thank you my brother

God Bless
