What's the Turkish perspective on this? Note that there were reports in Denmark that Khazraji was in Ankara!

London/Kurdistan (KurdishMedia.com)
The sudden and the mysterious disappearance of the suspected war criminal has brought the vanished former-chief Iraqi army under the spotlight of the world media.

Interpol have issued an international warrant to arrest the former Iraqi military chief.

Hawlati, the independent Kurdish weekly, said yesterday that Al-Khazraji is in South Kurdistan, without giving further details.

The website Iraqipages.com reported today that Al-Khazraji has been taken to Kurdistan and is now in Sulemani to supervise the military attack against the Iraqi troops in a northern front.

Al-Khazraji was in charge of the Iraqi military troops when more than 182,000 Kurds were killed in the genocide operations called Anfal.

Recently, a London-based Iraqi opposition group told the Danish newspaper, Ekstra Bladet, quoting a source "very close" to the general in Denmark, that General Khazraji was in Saudi Arabia.

The Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten on the other hand reported few days ago that the general was in the Turkish capital, Ankara.

Sources close to KurdishMedia.com reveal that Al-Khazraji was kidnapped by the US in order to give intelligences which the US can use in its war against Iraq.

Al-Khazraji was in charge of the Iraqi military troops when more than 182,000 Kurds were killed in the genocide operations called Anfal. Al-Khazraji was also in charge of the Iraqi army when the Iraqi jets bombed the Kurdish city of Halabja with chemical weapons in 1988.
