Saddam's family 'wanted' by Iraq

Both women are living in exile
The first wife and eldest daughter of Saddam Hussein have been named as wanted fugitives on a new list unveiled by the Iraqi national security adviser.
Wife Sajida and daughter Raghad are believed to spend time in Jordan.

The list of 41 key figures also includes Saddam Hussein's former deputy and the new leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq.

Mowaffaq al-Rubaie also announced that the former leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, had been buried in Iraq in a secret grave.

Zarqawi died in a US air strike on 7 June.

His family and al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden had wanted the militant's body returned to his native Jordan for burial, but the Jordanian authorities had refused.

'Responsible'

"We are releasing this list so that our people can know their enemies," Mr Rubaie told reporters at a news conference.

He said those named were "responsible for most of the bombings and indiscriminate killings aimed at... starting a sectarian war between Sunnis and Shias".

The list includes top figures still surviving from Saddam Hussein's ousted regime including his former right-hand man, Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri.

Mr Douri has been accused of financing Sunni insurgent groups in Iraq.

The US has offered a reward of up to $10m for his capture.

The list also includes known figures in the Islamic strand of the insurgency, such as new al-Qaeda leader in Iraq Abu Hamza al-Muhajir.

The two women from Saddam Hussein's family are believed to spend time in neighbouring Jordan and Mr Rubaie urged countries harbouring them to hand them over for trial.

Raghad has played a part in organising her father's legal defence for crimes against humanity.

It is so typical of the group-think at the ST to say something like this...

Stories like theirs are playing out again and again nationwide, even as small farms struggle and debate rages over who and how many should be entitled to the American Dream.

That is such a racist comment!! IMO. America is large enough to have everyone who wants to be an American LEGALLY to have part of the American Dream. LEGALLY, LEGALLY, LEGALLY. I'm going to write the so called journalist who wrote this and remind him of this....

Edit: I just did write to him. His email address is on the original article that you linked.
