Psychic claims Saddam reward

BRAZIL. While the world watches the protracted and often farcical trial of Saddam Hussein in Iraq, with its almost certain outcome, a Brazilian psychic is waiting to see if the US will pay him $25 million for paranormally-acquired information that he maintains lead to the dictator’s capture.

Jucelino Nobrega Da Luz claims to have had a dream which pinpointed Saddam’s precise hiding place in a tiny cellar of a farmhouse near Tikrit, and that he conveyed this information in letters to the American administration. In fact, Da Luz wasn’t viewing the dictator remotely while he was hiding but predicting where he would be found, because he claims he wrote letters to the US Government from September 2001. He did not receive replies.

The reward was announced in July 2003 after coalition forces occupied the country, and Saddam was captured in December of that year.

At first, a lower court told the psychic that it could not take up his claim and that it would have to be judged in the US. But Brazil’s second-highest court, the Superior Court of Justice, overturned that decision and said the Brazilian justice system could rule on the matter.

A court in Da Luz’s home state of Minas Gerais will hear the claim.

The psychic’s lawyers told the Superior Court that their client “had an uncommon gift of seeing visions of things that will come to pass. Via dreams, he sees situations, facts that will happen in the future.

If his claim is upheld by the Brazilian court it will be sent via diplomatic channels to the US State Department.

The various news reports of this unusual claim provided no indication of how Da Luz would be able to prove that he identified Saddam’s hiding place and conveyed this to the US Government.
