bulgarian source

How would the bulgarians know? Are they just trying to wind up the States because of that 'chastisement' LOL.

It's not on the BBC, can find it any where else.
here's the content of that link:

from Sky News:

MYSTERY OVER TARIQ AZIZ

The Foreign Office is investigating rumours that Tariq Aziz, the Iraqi deputy prime minister, has defected to Northern Iraq.

Junior Foreign Office minister Mike O'Brien told the Commons that the rumours came from a Bulgarian source.


Labour's Ann Clwyd (Cynon Valley) said: "We do have reports that are as yet unconfirmed that Tariq Aziz has defected to Northern Iraq to Kurdish Democratic Party territory.

"It would be very useful to have a statement if that is confirmed."

Mr O'Brien said: "We too have heard these rumours and we are seeking confirmation, or not, of them."

The Foreign Office said there was nothing more to add to Mr O'Brien's remarks at this stage.

More to follow...

They still know nothing. That is what I just heard on MSNBC. All rumors. One is saying he was shot.

Just watching the SKY news and the reporter in Bagdad has confirmed seeing him and has (or is) apparently giving a press conference

Yeah it looks like it was BS. Sky changed their tune pretty quickly...
