Raghad, the eldest daughter of former Iraqi leader, Saddam Hussein, has been declared wanted by the country’s security services.

She is on the “most wanted list” of 60 people released on Sunday, on suspicion of belonging to the Islamic State group, al-Qaeda or the al-Baath Party.

Raghad has denied being a member of ISIS.

According to Saudi-owned Al Arabiya TV channel, she has vowed to confront those who “insult her” by suing them back.

However, the Jordanian government has turned down the request by Iraq to hand over Raghad, insisting that to do so would violate Arab traditions of hospitality.
