Jazeera TV Says Top Iraqi Baath Party Member Caught

Feb. 15 — DUBAI (Reuters) - Arabic television station Al Jazeera said Sunday a senior Baath Party member on the U.S. list of most wanted Iraqis had been captured. The report from Iraq identified him as Muhammad Zimam Abd al-Razzaq al-Sadun, who was Baath Party chairman and commander of the Baath Party militia in Baghdad and was number 41 on a list of 55 most wanted Iraqis. It gave no further details.

His capture, if confirmed, would bring to 44 the number caught by U.S. forces since the United States authorities issued their "most wanted" deck of cards portraying the faces of those it wished to capture.

Saddam's former lieutenant, Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, is the highest-ranking official on the list who remains at large, coming in at No. 6.

Yeah, sure there were no casualties. Translated, no American Casualties and a whole lot of dead Islamdumbos.

Jusy like an Islamonazi to take an AK-47 to an M1-A1 & Bradley fight.

Many jihadist body parts scattered on the border.

What is interesting about the attacks on the Fallujah police stations is something that the press glossed over. The stations were within 10 minutes of an 82nd Airborne unit. The unit called and asked the Iraqi police if they wanted help. They were told no, that they wanted to handle it themselves -- followed later by a call for more ammuntion as they were running low.

Help is 10 minutes away and all they wanted is more ammo. If that does not say we have won, what does?

Substitute, "Islamdumbo". That covers those who die for their cause.

IRAQI POLICE CAPTURE #41

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraqi police captured one of the most wanted people from Iraqi's former regime Sunday in Baghdad. The National Iraqi Police Service Emergency Response Unit arrested Muhammad Zimam abd al-Razzaq al-Sadun, number 41 on the Iraqi "top 55" most wanted list, at approximately 2 p.m. in a residence in Baghdad's Al-Saydea district. He was hiding in an upstairs room.

The arrest followed an Iraqi police investigation and a series of coordinated raids by the National Iraqi Police Service Emergency Response Unit that led to al-Sadun. A former Central Ba'ath Party regional chairman for the Ninawah and Ta'mim governorates, al-Sadun was turned over to Coalition Force officials and is being held at an undisclosed location.
