Iraqi police capture No. 41 on most wanted list

By ASSOCIATED PRESS Feb. 15, 2004

BAGHDAD - Iraqi police on Sunday arrested a former
Baath Party chairman who was one of 11 fugitives still
at large from the US military's list of the 55 most
wanted members of Saddam Hussein's regime.

Mohammed Zimam Abdul Razaq - who was No. 41 on the list
and the four of spades in the military's "deck of
cards" of wanted men - was captured at one of his homes
in a suburb of Baghdad, Deputy Interior Minister Ahmed
Kadhum Ibrahim told journalists.

Abdul Razaq did not resist arrest, the minister said.

"He will be brought to trial and the court will decide
his fate," Ibrahim said, adding that the arrest was
carried out with US supervision.

Abdul Razaq was the Baath Party regional chairman in
the northern provinces of Nineveh and Tamim, which
include the city of Kirkuk.

The US military has offered a $1 million reward for all
those still at large on the list.

During a ceremony to present Abdul Razaq to reporters,
Ibrahim appealed to the most sought after regime
fugitive, Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, to surrender. Ibrahim
promised al-Douri, the former vice chairman of the
ruling Revolutionary Command Council, that if he was to
turn himself in he would be treated with dignity.
