Bodyguard fears for life

A former bodyguard of Saddam Hussein says he still fears for his life after six years living illegally in Australia.

Oday Al Takriti, now in Adelaide, admits to being a part of the former dictator's security team in Iraq but denies he played a prominent role. "How do I know that Saddam supporters may be chasing me?" he told the Adelaide Advertiser.

The Australian Government is investigating the case.
