Top Iraqi general surrenders to coalition forces
2003-05-17
General Kamal Mustafa Abdallah Sultan Al-Tikriti, former secretary general of Iraq's Republican Guard and a member of Saddam Hussein's inner circle surrendered today, US forces announced. He was placed in custody and figured high on the US list of most wanted Iraqis, Central command said. The general "surrendered to Coalition Forces early this morning in Baghdad," a Centcom statement said. He was the Queen of clubs in the US deck of playing cards distributed to troops to assist in the capture of leading figures in the regime ousted on April 9. The statement said the general was number 10 on the wanted list, but on the original list published by the US military last month he was number eight.
Secretary general of the Republican Guard, huh? Sounds pretty elite to me...

I guess the list is like one of those restaurant plate holders... you remove a couple from the top and everybody else moves up.
