| Senior Baath figure captured in Iraq |
| 2004-01-12 |
| British and Danish troops have arrested a senior figure in ousted dictator Saddam Hussein’s Baath party Monday, but there was no word on the name of the Baath member, they said. Oh, right, just tease us. Danish spokesman major Kim Gruenberger said he was unable to identify the man seized Sunday in a raid in the village of Shuwayj, near the southern city of Basra, but said he was involved in atrocities under Saddam’s regime. Yeah, that narrows it down. "On Sunday morning, Danish and British soldiers arrested a former leader of the Baath party," Gruenberger said. "We do not have the name yet, but we know he was a senior leader behind terror cells in southern Iraq." Gruenberger said the detained man was suspected of involvement in attacks on Muslim Shiites after the end of the Persian gulf war in 1991. Let’s see who’s left on the list of 55: 6. Izzat Ibrahim al-Duri LTG 7. Hani abd al-Latif al-Tilfah al-Tikriti COL, Director, Special Security Organization (SSO) 14.

Sabawi Ibrahim al-Hasan al-Tikriti, Presidential Advisor; Half Brother Of Saddam Husayn Since they specified Senior Ba’ath party member, it may be one of these guys: 40. abd al-Baqi abd al-Karim al-Abdallah al-Sadun, Central Ba’ath Party Regional Command Chairman, Diyala Region 41.
