From MSNBC
For 22 years, Jawad Amer Sayed was a dead man.

HE WAS on the run from Saddam Hussein’s police in 1981, and instead of fleeing into exile, he decided to stay at home and hide.

Inside a false wall he built between two rooms.

For as long as it would take.

It took 22 years.


Reminds me of the stories from WWII, but 22 years!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?

One of the saddest things is that after all this time, he actually chooses to return to the hiding place because he says, "It is my second home. Maybe it is my first."
