A former Iraqi army officer, who once posed as a body-double for Saddam Hussein's elder son, fears deportation to his homeland after being refused citizenship in Ireland.

Latif Yahia, 42, who claims to have survived three attempts on his life by Iraqi agents, has been married to an Irish woman - Karen, 36 - for seven years. The couple have a five-year-old daughter, Dina.

His 67-year-old mother, Yahia, and his brother's two children, Latif, nine, and Chimin, 13, who live with them in Daingean, County Offaly, are still awaiting the results of their application for asylum in Ireland.

His own story in his blog

It was agreed on the day that to prove her maternity of me, that we should have a DNA test (it still baffles me why anyone one would think that I would bring an elderly woman and two extra children into my home if they were not who I said they were) to this day it remains a mystery to me who actually asked for this DNA test, according to the tribunal I offered but to my recollection they asked, anyway we went to one of Ireland's premier medical facilities and had the necessary tests done (which I paid for, I think you may have some inkling of how much these things cost), they were then flown to London to be carried out and the results were released three weeks later.
We waited…
Finally we received the results, I had never questioned my parentage, but there was this niggling sense in the back of my head saying maybe they know something you don't … Lo and behold… tad ah... .Yes she was my mother!
Well 98.75% of her genetic makeup matched mine, legally there could be no argument, I was relieved. Then came the letter, there was an argument, the tribunal wasn't happy with the figures, they weren't conclusive, my mother's testimony had "holes" in it, I was taken aback!

An Irish-based Iraqi alleges that he has received and distributed the video that shows the dictator being executed.
