KUWAIT CITY : Saddam Hussein's fugitive number two, Izzat Ibrahim al-Duri, may have surrendered to US-led coalition forces in Iraq, Kuwait Television reported on Tuesday, quoting its correspondent in Baghdad.

The correspondent said on air that "the information is not confirmed and is confusing." He said that according to the information, Duri had given himself up on Tuesday morning and that no more details were available.

An official at Kuwait Television later told AFP that the station's correspondent was quoting Iraqi sources that had told him Duri had surrendered.

Number six on the US wartime list of most wanted Iraqi officials, Duri is now the highest-ranking official of the former regime still at large.

He has a US$10 million bounty on his head.

More fallout from the intelligence windfall in Saddam's briefcase?

But Saddam wasn't doing anything to direct the guerrilla campaign. Just like there was no connection between Saddam and 9/11.

A coworker just told me this. Fantastic news if true. He's the one suspected of masterminding some or all of the insurgent attacks.

the information is not confirmed and is confusing.

However if true, definitely a Merry Christmas!

The look on Al-Qaetie Couric's face when she has to report on this will be grim, very grim.
