| Top Iraqi official surrenders |
| 2003-09-19 |
| Iraq’s former defence minister has surrendered to United States forces in northern Iraq. An Iraqi negotiator said Sultan Hashim Ahmed, 27th on a US list of the most wanted former Iraqi officials, had given himself up in the city of Mosul. The news comes shortly after three American soldiers were killed in an ambush near Tikrit, the hometown of the former Iraqi leader, Saddam Hussein. 76 US soldiers have been killed in Iraq since the end of hostilities was declared in May this year. Isn’t this the guy they gave the surrender or die ultimatum to yesterday? |

| #5 There were some incidents at the liberation where Khurdish men tried to take their property back, but it seemed to calm down rather quickly. I think Sadaam is also taking advantage of tribal sheiks that he has "favored" for an extended period of time. |

| #4 I am under the impression that Saddam Hussein expelled a lot of Kurds from Mosul, confiscated their lands and houses, and gave them to Sunni and/or Tikriti supporters. I suspect these guys are the ones hiding the former regime's officials, |

| #3 so whats the deal with Mosul? Is it just the first town with a bus stop on your way back from being deported from Syria? I cant believe the Kurds are giving aid and comfort the anyone from Saddams team, but since Ugly and Quesy were killed there and this guy is there it makes me wonder whats so attractive about this place? |
