It has been 20 years since the start of the Iraq War.
On 13 December 2003 the deposed president of Iraq, Saddam Hussein, was captured by US forces.
Muwafaq al Rubaie was asked to help to identify the former dictator, face-to-face.
In this programme, first broadcast in 2012, he shares his memories of that time with Louise Hidalgo.
