US troops detained the private secretary of Saddam Hussein's fugitive number two, Izzat Ibrahim al-Duri, during a massive sweep in the Iraqi town of Hawijah today, police chief Awad al-Obeidi told AFP.
"Saad Mohammed al-Duri was arrested in a house in the Hawijah area, where he was hiding," Obeidi said in Iraq's northern oil capital by telephone.
Kirkuk's police chief, General Turhan Yusef, said $US40,000 ($55,134) was found in the man's possession, which was "suspected of being used to finance attacks on the US-led coalition".
