Saddam Hussein's Ally Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri 'Captured' In Iraq The Telegraph (UK) ^ | 4-24-2008 | Damien McElroy Posted on Wednesday, April 23, 2008 8:27:31 PM by blam Saddam Hussein's ally Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri 'captured' in Iraq By Damien McElroy, Foreign Affairs Correspondent Last Updated: 12:57am BST 24/04/2008 American forces have captured Saddam Hussein's Ba'ath Party heir, Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, the most wanted former regime official still at large, it has been reported. A Middle Eastern television channel said Douri, a key force in the country's devastating insurgency, had been seized in a mountain raid in Saddam's home province of Salahaddin. Most wanted: Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri Douri was King of Clubs in the deck of cards of most wanted Iraqis issued to American soldiers after the war. But he was almost unique in evading capture within the top rungs of the regime deposed by the US-led coalition in 2003. A US spokesman said the Baghdad command was unable to confirm his capture, but the television reports said he had been handed to US forces and DNA tests would be carried out to confirm his identity. Abu Mohammed, described as Douri's representative in Syria, claimed the reports were fabricated, saying Douri was free and "leading the resistance and jihad in Iraq". Western intelligence credited Douri, whose name derives from the neighbouring village to Saddam's native town, with a continuing important role in the insurgency. A wizened bureaucrat with red hair, the former vice-chairman of Saddam's Revolutionary Command Council was not cut out for the underground but he survived for five years on guile and a broad range of connections. Mowafaq al-Rubaie, Iraq's National Security adviser, told a Saudi newspaper that Syria was sheltering Douri and accused the 65-year-old of playing a key role connecting former regime officials with al-Qa'eda followers. As the last recognised leader of the Iraqi Ba'ath Party, he found post-war support in Syria and used his position in Damascus to frustrate attempts by moderates to start negotiations with democratic regimes. Known since childhood as the Ice Man, his state of health was rumoured to be fragile and several reports had said he died of leukaemia. But he enjoyed strong tribal support among Sunni Muslim sympathisers as well as Al-Qa'eda sympathisers. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- An Iraqi court announced that Tariq Aziz, the urbane Christian Iraqi who was the dictatorship's voice to the world, would face trial for the persecution of Baghdad merchants in the 1990s. The announcement of charges for Aziz and six other top officials, including Saddam's half brother, Watban Ibrahim al-Hassan, dashed hopes in the Vatican that the long-serving foreign minister would be freed on grounds of ill-health. The trial centres on the execution of 42 merchants rounded up after the first Gulf War and accused of profiteering from Iraq's isolation. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOPICS: Breaking News; News/Current Events; Click to Add Topic KEYWORDS: 55mostwanted; aldouri; aziz; captured; iceman; iraq; iraqijustice; izzataldouri; kingofclubs; saddam; tarikaziz; tariqaziz; Click to Add Keyword -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contribute to FR: $10 $20 $50 $100 Or mail checks to: FreeRepublic, LLC, PO Box 9771, Fresno, CA 93794 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ Report Abuse | Bookmark ] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Navigation: use the links below to view more comments. first 1-50, 51-100, 101-148 next last -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 posted on Wednesday, April 23, 2008 8:27:31 PM by blam [ Post Reply | Private Reply | View Replies | Report Abuse] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To: blam Izzat him? ;-) 2 posted on Wednesday, April 23, 2008 8:28:45 PM by ButThreeLeftsDo (Stop By The FReepathon, Help Keep The Lights On.)
