    Saddam's yacht: yours for $34mn
    by AFP on Sunday, 16 December 2007
    Ocean Breeze: the super-yacht has an asking price of $34 million (AFP).

    A super-yacht built for former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein is awaiting a buyer in the port of Nice, with an asking price of 23.5 million euros, ($34mn) according to a specialist website.

    The 82-metre (270-feet) Ocean Breeze, built in 1981 by Danish shipyard Helsingor Vaerft, started life as the Qadissiyat Saddam, but was never actually delivered to Iraq, says www.***************.com.

    Instead it ended up in Saudi Arabia, taken over by the country's royal family and renamed Al-Yamamah.

    Master suite colour scheme by Hieronymus Bosch, and not as a preliminary to "Paradise".
