His position on the resignation and death of his father
Abdul Salam Ahmed Hassan Al-Bakr mentions some facts about his father, saying, regarding the issue of resignation, in the year 1974, I went with my brother Haitham, accompanied by my mother, on her trip for treatment, and there Haitham told me that in the early seventies, after his vacation in Baghdad ended and he joined his studies in London, my father told him that He will hear the news of his resignation on the next anniversary of the revolution, so do not worry. Then Haitham added that Abu Uday (President Saddam Hussein) told his father in the first days of the revolution that if he decided to do so, he would resign before him and settle the crookedness. What Haitham said remained in my memory until President Saddam delivered his first speech to the masses, as President of the Republic, when he said, “I will be A flag among flags...etc. He mentioned that he told the father leader that if he decided to resign, he would resign before him. The truth is, what my brother Haitham told me was not a surprise to me. Rather, my father’s desire to resign was not a surprise to all of us. Since his first year in office, he has been talking about his intention to leave (the job) as he calls it. Haitham conveyed the explanation for that father’s desire, saying: The father feels... It is one of the reasons for the failure of the 1963 Ramadan Revolution because of Abdul Salam Arif's closeness to power.
Therefore, he said, “I want to return power to the Arab Socialist Baath Party again, and I trust.” When my father finally decided to submit his resignation, he began telling those close to him more than a month ago during their visits to him, and he also told me that, and he said, “Every time I intend to submit my resignation, something happens that I fear will be explained and rumors will be created, such as nationalization, the Nazim Kazar incident, and the "October War.” ..etc., but now, praise be to God, there is no problem.” Indeed, he was careful not to embarrass some of those close to him when he resigned, so he referred the Secretary of the Capital, Ibrahim Muhammad Ismail, to retirement, and transferred Yahya Yassin, the head of the Bureau, to the position of head of the Financial Supervision Bureau. He even referred his old private driver (Kazem Ziara) to retirement, while Tariq Hamad Al-Abdullah remained. Based on the desire of President Saddam and to facilitate the father’s contact with the Presidency if he needed to. As for the issue of death, my father lived in the house alone, and with him was my brother Muhammad’s niece. I lived in a house isolated from his house, separated by a small door, even though the house in which I lived was the same as my father’s house, as the external and internal structure of the two houses were the same, but on the inside, the two houses were separated. by a door and my older sister, the widow of Mazhar al-Mutlaq, lived with me, while my brother Haitham would visit him and sometimes stay with him for a night or two. A little more than a month before his death, one of his eyes developed cataracts, so he called Adnan Khairallah to facilitate his travel outside Iraq and asked me to coordinate with him regarding travel procedures. After he completely recovered from cataracts, he visited Hajj Khairallah Talfah at his home and returned carrying a collection of his books. My father had a medical committee composed of the most qualified Iraqi doctors in various medical specialties, whom he personally selected. The committee was headed by the Minister of Health, Dr. Riyad Ibrahim, and this committee visited and examined him weekly on a regular basis. The director of Ibn Sina Hospital, Dr. Samir Al-Sheikhly, used to visit him weekly, on a regular basis, to check his sugar and inject him with a needle that I do not know what it is. Some have interpreted the last phrase in an ambiguous way, as I am not familiar with the details of all the medications that fill the shelf near him, but there is no doubt that it is one of the treatments that... Recommended by doctors. On the day of his death, Dr. Al-Sheikhli visited him and injected him with the same usual needle. My brother-in-law, the husband of one of my sisters, (Taha Abdullah Sultan), who was a retired officer with the rank of staff colonel, was sitting near him. During Dr. Al-Sheikhli’s visit, and after he was given the injection, he felt dizzy, which led Dr. Samir Al-Sheikhli to become confused and say to President Al-Bakr, “Greetings, sir.” I believe that the doctor’s confusion or fear for the president’s life is normal, and it is the case of any doctor who is surprised by the deterioration of the patient’s health, even if He did not know him, so how could he be when he was the president who regularly treated him on a weekly basis, and if the doctor was a “conspirator,” then the opposite was expected, meaning that he would not be confused, given his prior knowledge of what would happen. Before his death, my brother-in-law, Taha Abdullah Sultan, told me that he saw a vision in a dream indicating that his father would die soon, which is what happened. When the stroke that took his life occurred, President Saddam Hussein came to the house, and the Minister of Health (Sadiq Alloush) and members of the medical committee, which was originally chosen by the father and which examined him weekly, also attended. Hajj Khairallah also came shortly after his death, and I think he came spontaneously in response to the father’s visit. Because I heard him shouting in amazement: What is the matter? After he saw the large number of cars outside and the black ambulance belonging to Ibn Sina Hospital. Some claim that I said that the injection into which the father was given was mysterious. Adding the word (mysterious) gives it an exaggerated dimension. The truth is, for me, I do not know exactly what this injection is, just as I do not know the dozens of packages of medications that he takes daily. The injection is among the medications and all of them were recommended by the aforementioned medical committee. Once again, I repeat that the injection was weekly, and was given to him during a visit to the doctor specialized in treating diabetes. The doctor is not unknown, he is Dr. Samir Al-Sheikhly, and he worked as director of Ibn Sina Hospital, and his private clinic was on Al-Saadoun Street in Baghdad, and he continued the same work after the death of his father. And nothing has changed. After his death, the specialized medical committee came to supervise his treatment, consisting of:
- Minister of Health, Dr. Sadiq Alloush
- Dr. Ihsan Al-Bahrani
- Dr. Muhammad Ali Khalil
- Dr. Ibrahim Al-Hayali
- Dr. Alaa Alwan
The aforementioned committee conducted a comprehensive examination in a duly manner and issued a death certificate in light of its findings, and the cause of death was stated as a heart attack. His body was not transported to the hospital, and the death certificate was written at home.
If there was doubt about his death and let us assume that the committee was afraid to speak at the time, then its members or a section of them could make a statement or hint after the occupation of Iraq, so why did this not happen?!
To answer a frequently asked question, why was his body not transported to the hospital? I say: Unless there is evidence of suspicion, there is no need for this routine procedure. My grandmother died at home in the sixties, and was not taken to the hospital, and my mother also died in the mid-seventies, and many of those I know were not taken to the hospital, especially if I knew about them with diseases that lead to death, and they had a well-known doctor. He testified about the case, and the father’s condition met these two descriptions. He was diabetic and suffered from frequent heart and brain attacks.[6]
