US FORCES are hunting down a close confidant of Saddam Hussein, who they believe is working with an al-Qaeda-linked group to co-ordinate attacks on coalition forces. As anti-coalition attacks continued across the country yesterday, including the bombing of a train full of US army supplies, a US defence official said two captured members of Ansar al-Islam have identified Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri as a force behind some of the attacks. Al-Douri is number six on the most-wanted list of 55 Iraqis and was vice-chairman of Saddam’s Revolutionary Command Council. His daughter is the widow of Uday, Saddam’s most brutal son. The official said that is the first solid evidence of links between remnants of Saddam’s regime and non-Iraqi fighters responsible for at least some attacks on US forces and their Iraqi allies.

MANAMA, Bahrain (NNS) -- Coalition naval forces operating in the North Arabian Gulf rescued eight men Oct. 29 after their tug sank in a detention area set aside for oil smugglers.
Motor vessel Al Huda and its eight Iraqi crewmen were detained by coalition forces Oct. 7 for smuggling 52 metric tons of oil out of Iraq. The vessel was officially seized by the Iraqi judicial system during an on-board hearing, and was awaiting disposition when the incident occurred at approximately 5 p.m., Oct. 29.
Four of the crewmen were rescued by U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Adak (WPB 1333), and the rest were pulled to safety by a rigid-hulled inflatable boat (RHIB) from the Australian frigate HMAS Newcastle (FFG 06). USS Jarrett (FFG 33) had also dispatched its SH-60 Seahawk helicopter to assist with the search. The Italian amphibious landing ship San Giusto (L 9894) was also on station to assist with communications and first aid.
The rescued crewmen were all transferred by small boat to the dock landing ship, USS Germantown (LSD 42), for medical evaluation. Although one was treated for hypothermia and another was treated for exposure to the vessel’s spilled fuel, all have been listed in good condition.
Repatriation for the eight Iraqi mariners is pending.
The cause of the sinking is under investigation.
