BAGHDAD, Iraq - Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s former interior minister and a top member of his Baath party have been taken into custody, the latest arrests from a list of 55 most wanted Iraqi fugitives, the U.S. military said Wednesday.
Mizban Khadr Al Hadi, a high-ranking member of the Baath Party regional command and revolutionary command council, and former interior minister Mahmud Dhiyab Al-Ahmad were taken into custody on Tuesday, according to a statement from Tampa, Fla.-based U.S. Central Command.
Al Hadi, number 23 on the U.S. list of 55 most wanted Iraqis from Saddam's ousted regime, turned himself in in the capital. Al-Ahmad, number 29 on the list, was also captured on Tuesday, the Central Command statement said. It gave no further details.
Thirty-three out of the 55 people on the most wanted list are now in custody, but not Saddam or his two sons. The U.S. military recently offered a $25 million bounty for Saddam, and a $15 million reward for each of his two sons.
"Coalition forces will continue to work at apprehending former members of the Saddam Hussein regime," Central Command said.
