Saddam Hussein has invited bids for the construction of a 100,000 seat Olympic stadium, fuelling speculation that Iraq is preparing to host the 2012 Olympic games. Documents show that the stadium is to serve as the foundation for a 1.2sq.km. Olympics sports city in Baghdad. A Jordanian company is soliciting bids from international contractors on behalf of the Iraqi education ministry, which is overseeing the project. A source at the company has confirmed that most of the bids are coming from European firms.
