WASHINGTON — U.S. forces in Iraq have made their highest arrest so far from the list of 55 most-wanted Iraqis.
Gen. Abid Hamid Mahmud al-Tikriti, the Ace of Diamonds in Central Command's deck of cards, was taken into custody, Pentagon officials told Fox News.
Al-Tikriti was No. 4 on the most-wanted list, behind only Saddam Hussein and his sons Uday and Qusay.
Al-Tikriti was Saddam's personal secretary, national security adviser and senior bodyguard.
Fox News' Bret Baier contributed to this report.
