WASHINGTON (AP) -- Coalition forces in Iraq said Monday they captured the brother-in-law of toppled President Saddam Hussein.

Luay Khayrallaha, No. 152 on the coalition's most-wanted list, was taken into custody Friday, said the U.S. Central Command.

He is the brother of Saddam's wife, a companion of Saddam's son, Uday, and a representative of the former regime's intelligence and security apparatus, Central Command said in a statement.

Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld has said there is a list of some 200 former regime officials who coalition troops are looking for.

According to a revised list of Iraq's 55 most wanted former leaders, posted on the command's Web site Monday, U.S.-led forces have seized or won the surrenders of 22.

FoxNews is reporting this, too.

Now now, he could have very easily had a Belgian or German passport. :-)

He was probably very relieved. Now he only has to worry wbout facing charges in Iraqi courts or perhaps in The Hague, instead of at Saddam's Iraqi Justice and Plastic Recycling Plant.
