A letter that former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein wrote to his family from US custody has been delivered to his eldest daughter in Jordan, the Red Cross says.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said the letter, collected from Saddam when officials of the Swiss-based organisation visited him last month, was delivered to Raghad Hussein on Thursday.
"The message was personal ... it had no political content," Red Cross spokesman Muin Kassis said in the Jordanian capital Amman.
"Raghad has not sent a reply yet."
Raghad 36, and her younger sister Rana fled to Jordan last year shortly after US forces took control of Baghdad in April.
