Iraqi Govt. Says Captures Saddam’s Most-Wanted Aide
By Waleed Ibrahim and Tom Perry

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraqi and U.S. forces arrested a man believed to be the most-wanted Saddam Hussein aide still on the run in a bloody raid on Sunday in which 70 of his supporters were killed and 80 captured, the government said.

The defense ministry said Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri – who was sixth on the U.S. list of the 55 most-wanted members of Saddam’s regime and had a $10 million price on his head – was captured in Tikrit, Saddam’s hometown and powerbase north of Baghdad.

The U.S. military has said Ibrahim was directly involved in organizing and funding attacks on U.S. forces since the downfall of Saddam.

The news spread fast in Baghdad, and in some Shi’ite districts residents fired AK-47s in the air in celebration.

Ibrahim was Saddam’s number two in the Revolutionary Command Council, and held a senior post on a government committee in charge of northern Iraq when chemical weapons were used against the town of Halabja in 1988, killing thousands of Kurds. [/quote]
