Saddam VP's hideout found 07/12/2007 16:07 - (SA)
Baghdad - Security forces stormed a hideout belonging to Izzet al-Douri, the former Iraqi vice president under Saddam Hussein, in a village near Tikrit, 170km north of Baghdad, an Iraqi official said on Friday.
They broke into the hideout based on confirmed intelligence that al-Douri was using it to hold meetings with his aides, said the source who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
The forces did not find al-Douri, but seized documents with information on the al-Qaeda terrorist network and other militias, their activities and the techniques used to conduct their operations in northern Iraq, the source said.
The documents also referred to the groups' objectives which involved attacking Iraqi military and police forces, but contained no reference to US troops.
The source said the police later pursued a car in which al-Dourri was believed to have been travelling, but the driver managed to escape.
They later found the car abandoned, but containing a computer with important information, small arms and other equipment, the source said.
Al-Douri was number five on the 55-wanted people list the US military had announced after the invasion of Iraq in 2003.
Roger that. I write the date military style all the time, but haven’t seen it used on FR.
This surge has not worked, I tell you.
Damn, can’t you guys pay attention, we have already surrendered, knock this stuff off, put your nasty guns down and run home!
No "maybe" to it.
“I think they might of found John Murthas coffee mug”
You just made me spill mine!! ;>)
Al Douri is a Ron Paul supporter.
funny, this is reported in south african media and not a peep in the US “news” sources.
MORE bad news for the Democrats...
Tragic news for Run Paul supporters ping.
What is it with V.P’s and “Undisclosed” or “secret” locations.
:)
A little of topic what ever happened to Bagadad Bob.
we better hurry up and surrender or we might win
Are you quite certain that isn’t Peter O’Toole?
He salutes in that style, that is about it.
LOL!
“What is it with V.P’s and “Undisclosed” or “secret” locations.”
I wonder if Harry Reid has an office for “Undisclosed” or “secret” meetings with our enemy?
The fact that they escaped suggests they were tipped off. But at least we snagged a truckload of intelligence data.
Hopefully this retarded savage will be taking a dirt nap soon.
I have already been chastised and have taken my lumps gracefully. See post 21.
