BAGHDAD, Nov. 26 (UPI) -- U.S. forces reportedly have captured a wife and daughter of the man who was Saddam Hussein's second-in command.
Col. Bill MacDonad, spokesman for the U.S. 4th Infantry division said the wife and daughter of Izzat Ibrahim Al-Duri were captured on Tuesday in Samarra, north of Baghdad, Sky News reported Wednesday.
Duri is believed to be masterminding anti-coalition attacks, MacDonald said.
He said troops "raided a building and detained three people including Duri's wife, his daughter and his physician's son." The United States is offering a reward of up to $10 million for the capture of Duri himself.
The former vice-president of Iraq's Revolution Command Council, Duri, 61, is believed to have more than one wife.
After ousted President Saddam Hussein, he is the senior Iraqi leader still at large and is in sixth position on a coalition list of most-wanted Iraqis.
