Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, aide to Saddam Hussein, died on Friday, al-Arabiya TV channel quoted a statement by the Baath party as saying.
Al-Douri, vice chairman of the Revolutionary Command Council under Saddam's regime, ranks No. 6 among the 55 most wanted by the United States with a 10-million-dollar bounty on his head.
He died early Friday, the statement said, without giving more details.

Hey! Where is that chart you used to post? Its time for an update!!!
Actually he looks loke the Black guy who looked white in that movie a Soldiers Story he was the Sgt that was murdered and Denzel Washington was investigating..
Look at him closely he looks like a Black white guy..
That should make his left hand happy.
Why use a Communist Chinese government backed news source?
ROTFMAO!
Galloway is disturbed. Same for a few leaders here. Could anyone imagine a Congress without: Pelosi, Boxer, Frankenstein, Kennedy, Reid, (any others?). Its like that old Sci-fi movie when the girl on Mars? was dreaming up the monster, therefore it existed and attacked the men. Same goes for the Dems. Their ignorance, idealisim, and shamefulness has een bcoalesced into these leaders, and they have become the face of their party.
Has this been confirmed?
wow, too bad.
NOT
CNN is quoting al-Arabiya, and MSNBC (I'm intentionally leaving off the "P" this one time) has a more-extensive story citing both al-Arabiya and AFP, but cautioning that the Baathists have claimed Izzy dead in the past to throw us off the trail.
Confirmed? As far as I can see, no.
An article I read just noted this:
"In the past, NBC cautioned, al-Douri has been reported dead as a way for the dissolved Baath party to throw off those searching for him."
"There was no confirmation from other sources and one Web site which publishes regular news releases from Baath party supporters made no mention of the death."

I'm not buying it just yet . . .
Does anyone think there is a COUNTER-counter insurgency?
First Sadaam's defense lawyers get offed, now this. Saddam and his players have a lot of angry victims' families. I am sure it is not on the top priority list of the present Iraqi government to "stop" these "events.
As much as I would like to celebrate- I will wait for confirmation first. We have been here before and have heard this line before.
We have to wait and see.
Izzat so?;)
Satan has shown an increase in weight.
he died? where was he, Syria? where is the body?
Yes!
where is this report coming from, where was he when he supposedly "died"?
Michael Moore salutes this brave Minuteman, and wants to know where to send flowers.
