RIP – EVA GRANT (1925-2024)

With a heavy heart, I bear the sombre news of Eva Grant’s passing on Monday, 22 January 2024. She was a pioneering figure in the British glamour photography scene of the 1950s and ’60s. A luminary whose lens challenged the norms of such a male-commanded industry.

Belly Dancers Menace Iraqis

SADDAM HUSSEIN has dispatched teams of female agents, some disguised as belly dancers and actresses, to attack dissident Iraqis in Britain, a group of defectors said yesterday. The plot is codenamed Operation Falcon, according to the Iraqi National Accord (INA), a body of military and security personnel who have defected from the country. Baghdad, the INA says, is using the agents to infiltrate their organisation in London, Brussels, Paris and Vienna. One female Iraqi agent was reported to have been seen last week in Edgware Road, Central London, which has a high concentration of Arab residents. She is a belly dancer known to be associated with Uday Hussein, Saddam's eldest son, and is said to have set up belly dancing schools in the Middle East as a cover for Iraqi assassination squads. The Foreign Office said that it was aware of the claims made by the group. A number of leading Iraqi dissidents in London are understood to be under the protection of Special Branch officers because of the latest threat. Scotland Yard refused to comment.
