By Daniel Miller PUBLISHED: 06:26 EST, 8 December 2012 | UPDATED: 07:07 EST, 8 December 2012 Iraqi intelligence officers are investigating the assassination of a British engineer and his family in the French Alps, including his links to Saddam Hussein and an alleged fortune in cash hidden in a Swiss bank account. Saad al-Hilli, 50, wife Ikbal, 47, and her mother Suhaila, 74, were gunned down in their car execution-style while seemingly taking a camping holiday in the Alps. Oldest daughter Zainab, seven, was shot in the shoulder, while Zeena, four, only survived by hiding underneath her mother’s skirt in the back of the family's BMW estate car.
