Former US Army general who captured Saddam Hussein due to speak in Derry tomorrow

The man who led the US secret military squad which captured Saddam Hussein is due to speak to local business leaders in Derry tomorrow.

General Stanley A. McChrystal was at the helm of the US troops during the Afghan War up until his resignation in 2010.

One of the most high-profile and controversial American military leaders of the past 50 years, McChrystal has since carved out a new career as a ‘leading boardroom guru'.

He will address members of the Londonderry Chamber of Commerce at the President’s Annual Launch tomorrow.

The £30 a head event will take place at the City Hotel at 1pm.
