BAGHDAD, Iraq, Oct. 29 — A key member of Saddam Hussein’s inner circle is believed to be directing the series of attacks on U.S. forces in Iraq, U.S. military and intelligence sources told NBC News. Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, the No. 2 man in the Iraqi government, is one of the few remaining members of the Iraq leadership to remain at large since the Saddam regime was toppled by U.S.-led forces.
