Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri's dead!
2005-11-11
One of Saddam Hussein's most trusted aides, Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, has died, his Baath party says. "The leader of the resistance... died on Friday, 11 November, at 0220 [Thursday 2320 GMT]," the statement said. There are no other details. Mr Douri was the most senior figure in the former regime still at large. The US had offered a $10m reward for information leading to his capture. Mr Douri served as vice-chairman of the Revolutionary Command Council. He is accused of financing insurgent groups in Iraq.
If you're really dead, Rusty, good riddance. Hope it hurt like hell.

#9  There is some solace in the fact that his final days were painful. May you rot in Hell, Izzy.

#3  Give the $10 million to Soldiers Angels. I'm sure his death was hastened by the soldiers pressure on him.

#2  ...IIRC, he suffered from leukemia. Without taking anything away from the innocents who suffer from that dread disease...I hope that al-Douri was inflicted with the tortures of the damned before he shuffled off this mortal coil.
