#1 Debka is saying that Syria threw him across the border into US or Iraqi hands, because the CIA is just about to do a Washington, D.C. expose that the bombing attack in Syria last September was against a North Korean plutonium reactor.

It's the Syrian way of saying, "Oh SHIAT! Don't attack!"

#2 We've seen this movie before. Al-Duri gets the special extra-super-duper 72-hour rule.

#3 I'm betting two weeks. They will be in no hurry to announce his capture.

#4 "At this point, we can say that he is not in coalition custody and we have no reports that he was captured by Iraqi security forces either."

so he is being held by the CIA, or the Iraqi special forces, or Haliburton

#6 I thought there were some rumors of Al Duri dying of cancer a couple of years ago.

There were rumors he went underground with about $350 million to finance an insurgency.

Of course, if they capture this thug, it would be a big big BIG intelligence coup. So I agree that if they do have him in the jug, they won't announce it for a long time. Didn't they wait to announce one of their recent AQ bags for about three months?
This guy has more liv
