 Re: القوات الأمريكيه تقبض على طارق عزيز (Re: Yassir Mahgoub)

WASHINGTON - U.S. officials, pleased to have former Iraqi official Tariq Aziz in custody, say they're optimistic even more wanted Iraqis will be captured in coming days.
Aziz, a former deputy prime minister and foreign minister under Saddam Hussein (news - web sites), was the 12th man on the American list of 55 most wanted Iraqis taken into custody. The Pentagon (news - web sites) says three others, including Saddam's cousin Ali "Chemical Ali" Hassan al-Majid, have been killed.
A spokesman at Central Command headquarters in Qatar, Lt. Herb Josey, said Aziz surrendered on Thursday. Josey gave no further details.
Aziz's prominence in the regime could make him a source for the best information yet on the fate of Saddam and his two sons, as well as the location of any hidden weapons of mass destruction.
The capture of top Iraqi figures could prompt other wanted officials to turn themselves in, Pentagon officials said. Information from the others already in custody also could lead to more on the wanted list, the officials said.
Aziz was No. 43 on the U.S. most-wanted list, the eight of spades in the military's card deck of top Iraqi leaders.
