Matthew Simmons asks Haneen Alshujairy

Matthew Simmons:

What was happening in Iraq on the day you were born?

Haneen Alshujairy:

Interesting question! I asked my father if anything cool happened on the day I was born, and he could not remember! he just said: “khosh sana chanat” Iraqi for “it was a good year”.

But I’m not gonna your question unanswered so I’m relying on Google now and I just found something for you, it was.. wait for it...  Qussay Saddam Hussein birthday! hah.

So on the day I was born Saddam’s family was celebrating.
