| | Guardian Unlimited Special reports Pretender joins battle for Baghdad |
 | | Sharif Ali bin al-Hussein, a cousin of Iraq's last king, Faisal II, arrived on a private jet at the military-occupied Baghdad international airport. |
 | | Sharif Ali is unlikely to seek a seat on the political council which is soon to be appointed by the coalition provisional authority, but he will send a team of advisers to the convention due to begin drafting a new constitution next month, in which lies his only chance of a restored monarchy. |
 | | The last of Iraq's exiled political players to arrive in Baghdad, Sharif Ali, 47, hopes to persuade politicians and voters of the symbolic unifying value of appointing him a constitutional monarch above a democratically elected government. |
