For decades, rumors circulated that Saddam Hussein had created a vast network of underground facilities and passageways in Iraq. Now that he has been forced from power, the truth about these facilities is emerging, and the extent of SADDAM'S SECRET TUNNELS, which have only begun to be explored, is truly stunning.

HISTORY'S MYSTERIES is there with U.S. forces and officials as these chambers are explored for the very first time. Venture beneath the Al Rashid hotel in Baghdad, where a passageway descends four stories to meet up with a highway that is believed to travel 15 miles to the airport. See a subterranean military post stocked with communications and medical equipment, including gas masks and chemical suits. And tour the so-called "project 2000," Saddam's enormous command and control bunker, built to withstand the force of nuclear blasts!
