Saddam Hussein's half-brother captured in Iraq

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A half-brother and former adviser to Saddam Hussein has been captured in Iraq, according to sources in the interim government.

Sabawi Ibrahim al-Hasan al-Tikriti was number 36 on the U.S. military's list of the 55 most wanted people in Iraq. No other details were provided. An official announcement would be made soon, the sources said on Saturday.

"Sabawi is captured, he's a big catch," one official in the government said.

I FERVENTLY pray that it's soon .. Gen. Meyers says it is. From his lips to the ear of God. Maybe, with the beginnings of freedom, some smart Iraqi will actually realize what $10M (although I thought they raised it to $25M) US Dollars could do to improve his lifestyle.

That wanted poster may be a bit dated.

The reward system functioned in the capture of Saddam. With Zarqawi's scores of murdered innocent victims, American and hundreds of Iraqi bystanders dead resulting from his orchestrated mass slaughters, most thinking Iraqis want this Islamic serial killer stopped now.

Pray it's real soon!

Muhammad was captured in raids over the weekend, along with another on the wider list of 200."}
