The Iraqi Government will sell former dictator Saddam Hussein's luxury yacht. The 270ft boat has swimming pools, an operating theater, a helipad, and a James Bond villain style escape tunnel leading to a submarine. Colors are decor could be described as gaudy and ostentatious.
The vessel was built in Denmark in 1981 but was never delivered to Iraq.
A London broker acting for Sudeley's put the yacht up for sale last year for 23.5 million euros ($45.4 million).
US missiles destroyed the Al Mansur another luxurious yacht owned by Saddam, in southern Iraq in 2003.
