US-led forces in Iraq say they have detained a senior member of Saddam Hussein's Baath party. Ghazi Hamud al-Adib was the Baath party chairman and militia commander for the Wasit governorate, which includes the city of Kut. He is number 32 on US Central Command's list of the top 55 most wanted members of Saddam Hussein's former regime. He is depicted as the two of hearts. It is not clear whether he surrendered or was captured by coalition forces in Iraq. So far 19 out of the 55 most wanted have been captured by US-led forces or have surrendered, while one, former presidential adviser Ali Hasan al-Majid, known as "Chemical Ali", is thought to be dead.
Thought dead? Didn't they find enough to ID? |
