Iraq War: 'Most wanted' playing cards - a podcast by BBC World Service

It has been 20 years since the start of the Iraq War.

In April 2003, the US military unveiled a set of playing cards to help troops identify the most-wanted members of Saddam Hussein's government.

The cards were first revealed to the world by Brigadier General Vincent K Brooks at a press conference on 11 April 2003.

He has been sharing his memories of that time with Matt Pintus.
