Saddam-era PM dies in US custody
 BAGHDAD: Former Iraqi prime minister Mohammed Hamza Al-Zubaidi, who was one of Saddam Hussein's most senior deputies in the early 1990s, died in US detention last week, the US military said on Monday. Zubaidi, on the US military's list of the 55 most-wanted Iraqis during the war, died at a US military hospital on December 2, said Lieutenant Colonel Guy Rudisill, spokesman for detainee operations in Iraq. The US military issued a statement about the death of an individual on Saturday, but did not refer to Zubaidi by name.
