Iraqi information minister nabbed in Baghdad: British report Wed Jun 25, 7:07 AM ET Add Mideast - AFP to My Yahoo! LONDON (AFP) - Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf, Iraq (news - web sites)'s information minister at the end of Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s regime, has been captured in Baghdad, a British newspaper claimed. The Daily Mirror said al-Sahaf -- nicknamed "comical Ali" for his robust denials that Baghdad was falling to US troops -- was snared in his car at a US military roadblock on Monday. In a dispatch from Baghdad, it said al-Sahaf's captors allowed him to go back to a house where he had apparently been holed up with his wife and three children "to collect a toothbrush, razor and book." "He has some serious talking to do... this time," the tabloid, which had strongly opposed the US-led war to oust Saddam, quoted a "senior coalition source" as saying. In Baghdad, neither the top civil administrator in the Iraqi capital, Paul Bremer, nor an official US military spokesman was able to confirm al-Sahaf's arrest. "I have no confirmation on an arrest. Information about that will come in due course from the military," Bremer told reporters.
