Saddam's Wife, Daughter On New Iraq Wanted List
02 July 2006
Iraq has placed former President Saddam Hussein's first wife and his eldest daughter on a list of 41 "most wanted" fugitives.
Daughter Raghad has taken a leading role in organizing her father's legal defense for crimes against humanity. Her mother, Sajida Khairallah Tulfah, is believed to be living in the Gulf Arab state of Qatar.
The list includes Abu Ayyub al-Masri, the new al-Qaida in Iraq leader who replaced Abu Musab al-Zarqawi after his death in a June 7 U.S. air strike northeast of Baghdad.
Iraq's national security advisor, Muwaffaq al-Rubaie said Sunday the list is being released so the Iraqi people can know their enemies. He urged countries to hand over the fugitives to the Iraqi people for a fair trial.
The list also includes Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, Saddam's chief deputy, who is still at large and is believed to be helping to finance the Sunni-led insurgency.
Some information for this report was provided by AFP, AP and Reuters.
