He’s Not Saddam’s Son, Honest

OAKLAND, CALIF. (CN) - Talk about mistaken identity. Thomas Hassan Kubbany claims Trans Union LLC, Landsafe Credit and North Coast Mortgage maliciously denied him a mortgage "on the basis of erroneous information ... (in his) credit report indicating that ... he was or might be a son of Saddam Hussein of Iraq."

See federal complaint.
