TWO former senior Iraqi officials from the 55 "most wanted" list are in the custody of US forces operating in the country, the US military said early today.

Mizban Khadr Al Hadi, a high-ranking regional Baath Party leader and a member of the ruling Revolutionary Command Council turned himself in to US troops in Baghdad, according to the Central Command.

He is number 23 on the coalition's list of most wanted former Iraqi government officials.

Former interior minister Mahmud Dhiyab Al-Ahmad, who is number 29 on the list, was captured at a location in Iraq that Centcom has not identified.
