Saddam lieutenant calls for Baath Party insurgents to stop: IbrahimThe Red
 Iraqi government officials say Saddam Hussein's former second-in-command has called for Baath party leaders to end attacks. Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, Saddam's former vice-president, is now a fugitive with a ten (m) million-dollar bounty on his head. Officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, say al-Douri issued the order through couriers sometime after Saddam was sentenced to hang on Sunday. Reports of al-Douri's message come as Saddam calls for reconciliation in Iraq. Speaking in court during his second trial today, the former dictator urged Iraqis, Kurds and Arabs to "forgive, reconcile and shake hands." Posted by: GolfBravoUSMC 2006-11-08 |
