Iraqi former vice-president captured by Kurds (Filed: 19/08/2003) telegraph.co.uk A former vice-president of Iraq, no 20 on the "most wanted" list of Iraqis, has been captured by Kurdish allies of the US in the northern city of Mosul. Taha Yassin Ramadan's playing card A US army spokeman said that Taha Yassin Ramadan was in custody, but gave no more details. A spokesman for the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK), one of two main Kurdish parties in northern Iraq which fought alongside US forces in the war in Iraq, said that Kurdish fighters had captured Ramadan yesterday and had handed him over to US troops. In Washington, a Pentagon spokesman confirmed that Ramadan had been captured and handed over to coalition forces. Ramadan, in his 60s and originally from the Mosul region, is one of the only surviving members of the 1968 coup that brought the Ba'ath party to power. He is alleged to have been involved in crimes against humanity for suppressing the Kurdish rebellion in the north in the 1980s and against the Shi'ite revolt in southern Iraq after the 1991 Gulf War.
