No. 50 on Iraq Wanted List in Custody, U.S. Says

DUBAI (Reuters) - The U.S. military said on Tuesday that a former member of Saddam Hussein's Baath Party who is on Washington's list of most-wanted Iraqis was in the custody of U.S.-led forces in Iraq.

The U.S. Central Command said in a statement that Ugla Abid Sighar al-Kubeiysi was a Baath Party regional chairman in Maysan governorate and was number 50 on the wanted list.

"(He) is now in custody of coalition forces," the statement said without giving further details.

The United States issued a list of most-wanted Iraqis after ousting Saddam on April 9, three weeks after U.S.-led forces invaded Iraq. Kubeiysi's surrender brings to 24 the number of the 55 wanted fugitives now in U.S. custody.

His arrest follows the surrender of one of Saddam's most trusted generals, the former secretary of the feared Republican Guard, to U.S. forces on Saturday.

Kamal Mustafa Abdallah Sultan al-Tikriti, who is also Saddam's cousin, became only the second top 10 figure from a U.S. list of 55 wanted fugitives to be taken into U.S. custody.

Tikriti was 10th on the list, one place behind former deputy prime minister Mohammed Hamza al-Zubeidi who was captured by Free Iraqi Forces last month.

Phooey on Reuters, they are no fun

You expected fun from the organization that can't get itself to call 9/11 a terrorist attack?

[alley cat]

2 of clubs, great! Why wouldn't Reuters tell us that? Bunch of fuddy-duddies.

Sigh, I guess I should know better...

[Dead Dog]

I wonder if any of these dudes are upset with their rankings. The last thing I would want to be is Queen of anything, much less the Queen of hearts. I guess in the Arab world, they are all Queens.

[Dog Gone]

Man, I would be so mad if I were number 55 in the deck. No glory.

Man, I would be so mad if I were number 55 in the deck. No glory.

Same with #s 53 and 54. They don't even warrant a card.

Still can't figure out why these people stayed in Iraq.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Good stuff!

[McGavin999]

If the Iraqi people keep finding these guys and killing them the only hope they have of surviving is to give themselves up.

From the Washington Post via Taranto's Column:

BAGHDAD, May 19 -- Iraqis have begun tracking down and killing former members of the ruling Baath Party, doubtful that the United States intends to adequately punish the mid-level government functionaries who they say tormented them for three decades.

Ain't payback a bitch?

I doubt it if this is a merely a coincidence. He must have asked himself where is best chance was: With the USA or the people whom he helped to rape, murder, plunder from and torture for the past 25 years or so?
