Free Iraqi Forces capture one of "most-wanted" Iraqi officials
DUBAI (AFP) Apr 21, 2003
The Free Iraqi Forces (FIF) on Monday captured Mohammad Hamza al-Zubaidi, one of the 55 Iraqi officials wanted by the United States, and turned him over to US troops, the Iraqi National Congress said.

"FIF on Monday captured Mohammad Hamza al-Zubaidi in Al-Hilla," 80 kilometres (50 miles) south of Baghdad, "and handed him over to US troops," said INC member Haidar Ahmad.

Zubaidi, the queen of spades in the "most wanted" deck of cards issued by the US military, was a former member of the Revolutionary Command Council, the all-important decision-making body of Saddam Hussein's regime.
