From The Sun:
SADDAM Hussein?s henchmen last night pleaded with Russia to find them a top surgeon to save the tyrant?s life.
They sent an SOS to Moscow as their leader lay badly wounded at a secret hideaway in Baghdad.
Saddam is believed to have suffered abdominal injuries when cruise missiles scored a direct hit on his bunker on Day One of the war last Thursday.
