Travels in SADDAM'S IRAQ, November 1989 - I hitch-hiked from Amman - Jordan, in two days the 1000km across the desert to Baghdad ... in the street there I met by chance an English guy called Gary - on his way to India, via Kuwait - and so he soon joined me for a tour of Iraq. It was crazy; constant police hassles - photos were difficult. After 3 weeks we were arrested by the Iraqi military in Rayat, North-West Kurdistan, accused of being Iranian spies and then journalists before being released after 30 hours to be kicked out ... of Iraq.
