Daughter Says 'Betrayal' Gave U.S. Victory "It was a big shock. It was clear, unfortunately the people who he had absolutely trusted...as I understood, the main betrayal was by them," Raghd, 36, told Al Arabiya television in an interview in Jordan where she, her sister Rana, 34, and their nine children were given asylum. "This is an act of treason. If somebody doesn't like you, they should not betray you. Betrayal is not a trait of Arabs," added Raghd, clad in black and a white veil in a sign of mourning. Their two brothers Qusay and Uday were killed by U.S. forces last month. The two daughters, whose husbands were both ordered killed by Saddam, arrived in Jordan on Thursday after they were offered asylum by King Abdullah. Since the end of the U.S.-led war in April that ousted Saddam, the two had been in hiding with their mother Sajida under close tribal protection, Iraqi exile sources in Amman said.
