A senior Ba'ath Party member in Kirkuk said General Izzat Ibrahim al-Duri, one of Saddam Hussein's deputies, set off for Syria in a large convoy as the regime collapsed last week, the Daily Telegraph reported on Monday.

Said Nazim Khoshid said Gen. al-Duri, who shortly before the war began was put in charge of the northern military region by Saddam, invited him to join his convoy.

Khoshid told Kurdish officials that he declined the offer, and said he did not know whether Gen. al-Duri reached Syria. He believed he left in a convoy of two dozen Chevrolet four-wheel drive vehicles and took some US$30 million in US dollars with him.
