Saddam VP's hideout found 07/12/2007 16:07 - (SA)
Baghdad - Security forces stormed a hideout belonging to Izzet al-Douri, the former Iraqi vice president under Saddam Hussein, in a village near Tikrit, 170km north of Baghdad, an Iraqi official said on Friday.
They broke into the hideout based on confirmed intelligence that al-Douri was using it to hold meetings with his aides, said the source who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
The forces did not find al-Douri, but seized documents with information on the al-Qaeda terrorist network and other militias, their activities and the techniques used to conduct their operations in northern Iraq, the source said.
The documents also referred to the groups' objectives which involved attacking Iraqi military and police forces, but contained no reference to US troops.
The source said the police later pursued a car in which al-Dourri was believed to have been travelling, but the driver managed to escape.
They later found the car abandoned, but containing a computer with important information, small arms and other equipment, the source said.
Al-Douri was number five on the 55-wanted people list the US military had announced after the invasion of Iraq in 2003.
Keep running! We’ll keep the roap oiled for you.
How many are left from the deck of death?
FYI This is dated July 12.

12/7
A Baath Party statement said former Iraqi Vice President Izzet Ibrahim Al Douri died on Nov. 10. The statement did not say where Al Douri, 63, died or under what circumstances.

Other parts of the world post the day before the month.
Excellent.
There was no confirmation of Al Douri’s death, but U.S. officials said Ibrahim had struggled with leukemia for several years.
They said Al Douri was believed to have been based in Syria near the Iraqi border.
He has leukemia and requires regular treatment to stay alive. He can't run around like a Commando. I am surprised they have not gotten him by now.
It would be cool to finally catch him as one of the last big shot hold outs of Saddam's crew.
LOL! Now the bad guys are going to start scrambling around ... look for another batch of arrests and raids, coming soon.
Maybe more important than him.
Maybe more important than him.
Ping
This SOB has been on the loose for a long time.
It is getting late early for the insurgency ping...
I think they might of found John Murthas coffee mug
Roger that. I write the date military style all the time, but haven’t seen it used on FR.
This surge has not worked, I tell you.
Damn, can’t you guys pay attention, we have already surrendered, knock this stuff off, put your nasty guns down and run home!
No "maybe" to it.
“I think they might of found John Murthas coffee mug”
You just made me spill mine!! ;>)
Al Douri is a Ron Paul supporter.
funny, this is reported in south african media and not a peep in the US “news” sources.
MORE bad news for the Democrats...
Tragic news for Run Paul supporters ping.
What is it with V.P’s and “Undisclosed” or “secret” locations.
:)
A little of topic what ever happened to Bagadad Bob.
we better hurry up and surrender or we might win
Are you quite certain that isn’t Peter O’Toole?
He salutes in that style, that is about it.
LOL!
“What is it with V.P’s and “Undisclosed” or “secret” locations.”
I wonder if Harry Reid has an office for “Undisclosed” or “secret” meetings with our enemy?
The fact that they escaped suggests they were tipped off. But at least we snagged a truckload of intelligence data.
Hopefully this retarded savage will be taking a dirt nap soon.
I have already been chastised and have taken my lumps gracefully. See post 21.
I think the only place I’ve ever seen the date written day/month is in the American civilian population.
Just to be on the safe side. I had to check other South African news stories to make sure they did in fact put the day before the month.
When we post here in America we are set in our ways with how we date articles. I am OK with this difference as long as I don’t have to learn the metric system all over again.
Gee, so Sadam’s VP was tied in with Al-Quada?
Who woulda thunk it.
Hmmm. Sounds suspicious to me. Misinformation, anybody?
I might be chased out of a hideout before I could destroy my papers, but If I was going to abandon a computer in car, I’d at least take the hard drive to destroy or hide.
This guy was a big leader with the Iraq insurgency. Makes me wonder what kind of contacts he had with Al Qaeda before we invaded.
I always use D/M/Y
Same here. The US military and every country I've been in outside the U.S. uses the day-month-year format.
Al Douri, the head of the Iraqi intelligence, and the head of the Special Security Apparatus are still on the loose, they hold a lot of secrets about Saddam regime WMD programs and his relations to Al Qaeda and other terrorists.
I’m not expecting the Ron Paul Cult to read this.
