Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, aide to Saddam Hussein, died on Friday, al-Arabiya TV channel quoted a statement by the Baath party as saying.

Al-Douri, vice chairman of the Revolutionary Command Council under Saddam's regime, ranks No. 6 among the 55 most wanted by the United States with a 10-million-dollar bounty on his head.

He died early Friday, the statement said, without giving more details.

Did Baghdad Bob secure that job at the Joe's Pizza Parlor in Yonkers?

No! He's working at Wal-Mart.

I hope it was a long and very painful death.

Al-Dhuri died on Armistice Day 2005 just as Arafat died on Armistice Day 2004 (November 11)...both the likely victims of covert ops.

Nice shooting, gentlemen.

Pause

Al-Dhuri was perhaps the one general for Hussein most-schooled in warfare, and there is little doubt that he was a factor in the insurgency in Kirkuk and the Anbar provice.

His death, if confirmed, will improve our lot in Western Iraq.

How does one give details after they've died? 8~)

Izzy Abe was Saddam's main money man, shoveling loads of cash to fuel the insurgency.

I remember seeing something about a certian tribe or strain of Middle Easterners who have red hair...I also thought he might be a cousin of Sad-man?

I don't mean to rain on parades but this guy has been allegedly captured and died several times. A couple times even when I was over there.

Hope for the best.

I think so too, but he was a very sick man and that was will known before the war. Periodically there were report of him getting blood transfusions as treament for Leukemia.

I would like to hear his body was found, but he is probably dead.
