Saddam's Aide Reported Dead

A Ba'ath party website has stated that Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, the deputy of Saddam Hussein is dead.

The statement on the website said:

"On the soil of Arabic Iraq, the soul of Comrade Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri returned to God the Creator on Friday at dawn."

Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri was 61 years old, and was deputy chief of the Iraqi armed forces; he was reportedly one of Saddam's most trusted confidants.

Ibrahim was the most senior member of the former regime still at large, and his whereabouts were unknown.

The US military had put a $10M reward on his head.
