BAGHDAD, Aug. 18 (UPI) -- Executed Iraqi strongman Saddam Hussein's daughter and his former vice president have been placed on Interpol’s wanted list.
Kuwait’s KUNA news agency said Ezzat Al-Duri was named in an arrest warrant issued by the Iraqi government and was being sought by Interpol, an international law enforcement agency. The arrest alert was issued a day after a similar notice went out for Saddam’s daughter, Raghad, who is wanted on terrorism charges.
Al-Duri was once Hussein’s vice president and is now suspected of providing financial assistance to holdouts from the formerly ruling Baath Party. Baathists are suspected of playing a role in the ongoing Iraqi insurgency.
Al-Duri also took part in crushing revolts against Saddam in the Kurdish north in 1988 and 1991.
