A section of the infamous Sadam Hussein statue didn't sell at auction in Derby, as the bid wasn't high enough.


The bronze buttock was being sold in Derby earlier this week and had got worldwide interest.

The reserve price jumped to £100,000; but only £21,000 was bid, meaning no sale.

The piece of statue was ripped down in Baghdad in 2003 and taken out of the country by a member of a TV crew.
