Feb. 27 - Iraqi security forces captured Sabawi Ibrahim al-Hassan, Saddam
Hussein's half brother and former adviser who was suspected of financing
insurgents after U.S. troops ousted the former dictator, the government
said Sunday.
Al-Hassan is No. 36 on the list of 55 most-wanted Iraqis released by U.S.
authorities after troops invaded Iraq in March 2003, and one of only 12
remaining at large. He is also suspected of financing insurgents in the
post-Saddam era, and Washington had put a million bounty on his head.
The government statement said al-Hassan had "killed and tortured Iraqi
people." It also said he had "participated effectively in planning,
supervising, and carrying out many terrorist acts in Iraq."
Two other half-brothers of Saddam, Barzan and Watban, have already been
detained at a US army-run jail near Baghdad and will be tried in the
coming months.
