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.

Did Baghdad Bob secure that job at the Joe's Pizza Parlor in Yonkers?

No! He's working at Wal-Mart.

[Buffettfan]

Enbalm him with pork fat.

[Sthitch]

I hope it was a long and very painful death.

Briefly married to Uday?

I wonder if she's still alive.

Al-Dhuri died on Armistice Day 2005 just as Arafat died on Armistice Day 2004 (November 11)...both the likely victims of covert ops.

Nice shooting, gentlemen.

Pause

Al-Dhuri was perhaps the one general for Hussein most-schooled in warfare, and there is little doubt that he was a factor in the insurgency in Kirkuk and the Anbar provice.

His death, if confirmed, will improve our lot in Western Iraq.

Isn't this a very big deal?

[Dr. Eckleburg]

He died early Friday, the statement said, without giving more details.

How does one give details after they've died? 8~)

Izzy Abe was Saddam's main money man, shoveling loads of cash to fuel the insurgency.

[Slings and Arrows]

He looks like Howdy Doody's gay uncle.

[Blue State Insurgent]

Curse be upon his mustache!

[M. Espinola]

Jezz, I thought it was him the other night while in WalMart's auto department! lol

Baghdad Bob?

[rightinthemiddle]

I remember seeing something about a certian tribe or strain of Middle Easterners who have red hair...I also thought he might be a cousin of Sad-man?

Jim McDermott gets to move up.

Good one.

[rightinthemiddle]

What was his screen name at DU?

[DoSomethingAboutIt]

I don't mean to rain on parades but this guy has been allegedly captured and died several times. A couple times even when I was over there.

Hope for the best.

I think so too, but he was a very sick man and that was will known before the war. Periodically there were report of him getting blood transfusions as treament for Leukemia.

I would like to hear his body was found, but he is probably dead.

WAIT A MINUTE!!!!
- Why the heck is the Baath party allowed to issue statements???
- Why are all the people associated with the statement not arrested for conspiring with the enemy???
