The popular Babel newspaper, run by Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's elder son, was back on sale on Saturday, a month after being banned for insulting Arab leaders.
The daily published a 72-page edition to celebrate its return, twice the usual number of pages, and cut the price in half to 250 dinars, AFP said.
The information ministry clamped a one-month ban on the paper, owned by Uday Saddam Hussein.
For their part, Iraqi journalists claimed the ban was triggered by a wave of reports including one labeling Jordan's King Abdullah II a tyrant and another accusing Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak of blocking the emergence of political parties. (Albawaba.com)
