About this listen

Welcome to the first 24-hour news war. Saddam called it the ‘mother of all battles’. American jets, he proclaimed, would be blasted from Iraqi skies. The world was glued to rolling news channels as a very different conflict unfolded. Missiles and smart bombs rained down on Baghdad. In response Saddam launched Scud missiles at Israel, trying to explode the conflict into a Middle East-wide war. The world watched, and held its breath.  Narrated by Paul Waggott Written by Robin Scott Elliot Production and Sound Design by Holy Smokes Audio Executive Producers Tony Pastor + Neil Fearn A Goalhanger Podcasts Production Cast; Amal El-hawrani Nezar Alderazi Terry Silverthorne Kasper Michaels Cherise Silvestri Amina-Rose Jameel Yusef Jameel Ali Al-Saffu Tim Skinner Thomas Mitchells Abdelrahman Alhato Qutaiba F.
