 BEIRUT — Lebanese security forces have arrested a nephew of former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein suspected of masterminding attacks against US forces in Iraq, security sources said yesterday. They said Bashar Sabawi Ibrahim Al Hassan was detained as he tried to board a flight to Brazil at Beirut airport on Tuesday after officers suspected that his passport was tampered with.

| #6 Attention CIA lurkers: It appears Islamo-fascism is hereditary so tracking the familial strain seems logical. Everyone knew the Nazi Baathists fled to Syria, who in turn control Lebanon. Why'd it take so long to round up the nephews? Are the agents looking at Brazil to see who or why he was heading there? Brazil does have a space program and rocket launch capability, since the Turkish route may be compromised for the Iranians....and while you're at it, how about finding Bin Laden's extended family. |

| #2 I recall a Hussein nephew was arrested recently but I can't recall who or where - same nephew, new arrest; same arrest, new story; or new nephew, new arrest? |
