Iraqi Minister of State Wael Abdul al-Latif told Reuters it was "75 to 90 percent certain" the captured man was Ibrahim. He said 70 of the man's supporters were killed and 80 captured when they tried to prevent him being seized.
Latif said Arabs from outside Iraq were among the people protecting the captured man, who was suffering from leukemia.
"He's in a very deteriorated state of health," he said.
