RUMOR: Izzat Ibrahim Al-Douri Captured?
Rumor on Fox News that Izzat Ibrahim Al-Duri has been captured. No link yet, developing.

Here's the story referenced in the comments, below...
Saddam Hussein's fugitive number two, Izzat Ibrahim al-Duri, may have surrendered to US-led coalition forces in Iraq, Kuwait Television reported on Tuesday, quoting its correspondent in Baghdad. The correspondent said on air that "the information is not confirmed and is confusing."
Meaning, "I don't know, but that's what the rumor is..."
He said that according to the information, Duri had given himself up on Tuesday morning. An official at Kuwait Television later told AFP that the station's correspondent was quoting Iraqi sources that had told him Duri had surrendered.
"Which sources?"
"Some guy down at the bakery."
Number six on the US wartime list of most wanted Iraqi officials, Duri is now the highest-ranking official of the former regime still at large. He has a US$10 million bounty on his head.

And from Figaro, also referenced in the comments...
AFP. [ December 16, 2003 ] Kuwaiti state television, quoting its correspondent in Baghdad, affirmed Tuesday that the "number two" of the deposed Iraqi regime, Izzat Ibrahim, had turned himself in to the American forces to Iraq. He however added that "this information was not confirmed".
So this one's the same report as the other one, only in French...


Late (11 p.m.) addition, from news.com.au. More tomorrow:
Iraqi resistance leader 'surrenders'
THE reputed head of the Iraqi insurgency surrendered to US forces at dawn yesterday, Al-Arabiya television reported last night. The reported surrender of Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, the highest ranking member of the former regime still at large, follows the arrest at the weekend of two leaders of the insurgency along with Saddam Hussein.
By Jove, I think we've got him...
