"Dr. Germ", "Mrs. Anthrax" among Baathist officials released? in Iraq
2005-12-19
A homicide car bomb exploded outside a children's hospital in western Baghdad on Monday, killing at least two people and wounding 11, including seven policemen, officials said.

Police suspect the target was a passing convoy carrying a police colonel, who was among the injured.

Also Monday, an Iraqi lawyer said that about 24 former top officials in Saddam Hussein's government have been released from jail in Iraq, and some have left the country.

A legal official in Baghdad said Rihab Taha, known as "Dr. Germ," and Huda Salih Ammash, known as as "Mrs. Anthrax," were among those released.

Iraqi officials did not immediately confirm the information.

In western Baghdad, gunmen attacked the convoy of the Deputy Gov. Ziad Tariq, killing three civilians and wounding three of Tariq's bodyguards, Baghdad police said. Tariq was not injured.

A string of violent attacks, including shootings and bombings, began Saturday night, shattering the relative calm since last week's parliamentary election.

#2  Something tells me Madam Taha could tell the world a great deal about Saddam's WMD program. She was involved at the very top.
