Saddam's daughter on 'most wanted' list

Saddam Hussein's first wife, Sajida Tulfah, and his daughter Raghd appeared yesterday alongside the new Iraqi al-Qa'eda leader on a list of 41 fugitives most wanted by the Iraqi government.
The list includes high officials of Saddam's former Baathist regime as well as Islamist activists in the violent insurgency.
Abu Hamza al-Muhajer
Rewards are on offer, with the biggest bounty $10million (£5.4million), for Saddam's erstwhile right-hand man, Izzat Ibrahim, who has eluded capture for three years and apparently survives on the run despite numerous rumours of his death.
The inclusion of Sajida Tulfah, who lives in Qatar, and Raghd, who has been given refuge in Jordan, was a surprise.
They are accused of using stolen funds to help to finance insurgent operations, though no reward was offered for their arrest. Also prominent on the list is Abu Hamza al-Muhajer, also known as Abu Ayyub al-Masri, the Egyptian-born militant who replaced Abu Musab al-Zarqawi after the latter was killed in an American air raid last month.
He merits only a modest $50,000 offer from Baghdad, though the US has already put a $5million bounty on his head.
Osama bin Laden gave his blessing at the weekend to the appointment of al-Muhajer to succeed Zarqawi as Iraq's al-Qa'eda leader.
He urged him to concentrate on fighting the Americans and their supporters.
Meanwhile, US officials said at the weekend that investigators believed a group of soldiers accused of raping and murdering a young Iraqi woman, burning her body and killing three relatives to cover up the crime near the town of Mahmoudieh, south of Baghdad, had plotted the event for nearly a week before it happened in March.
Couldn't leave this out could they.
Sorry, it just doesn't pass the smell test.
Jordan has said Saddam Hussein's eldest daughter, sought as a fugitive by Iraqi authorities, is living in Jordan under the protection of its royal family. Raghad Hussein and Saddam Hussein's first wife, Sajida, appeared on a new list of wanted suspects, unveiled by the Iraqi national security adviser
Preferably dead.
I hate to say this, but that Abu guy is nice looking.
He looks evil to me.
Maybe that beard makes him look a little evil, but I don't see a lot of evil in his eyes, just I guess I would call it zeal or determination.
I'm certainly not on his side. Like if they catch him and put him in prison in America, he'd have a gazillion letters from women, not from me. He's not THAT good looking.
Just ask Rose O' where she is....
