|
US forces in Iraq have captured one of the remaining most-wanted officials in Saddam Hussein's toppled government, American defence officials say.
Muhsin Khadar al-Khafaji was a Baath party chairman in the southern region of Qadisiyah, the US military said.
The officials gave no details how Mr al-Khafaji, number 48 and the "three of diamonds" in the US set of 55 playing cards of the most-wanted, was captured.
His detention leaves 11 of the 55 most-wanted still at large.
The highest-ranking on the list is Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, the former vice-chairman of the Baath party's Revolutionary Command Council.
He is ranked number six in importance in the US pack of playing cards.
Washington has offered a reward of $10 million for his capture.
