Saddam's nephew arrested

[kentuck]

So? What's the big deal? Right? Keep in mind that Tariq Aziz testified in Saddam's trial yesterday. He said that al Maliki was part of the Dawa group that tried to kill Saddam, which led to the mass executions for which Saddam is on trial. Further, Aziz mentioned the students that were killed by Dawa when Malaki was a part of the group. It appears there is a long-time blood feud between the present Prime Minister and Saddam Hussein. And now, the rest of the story... :)

Iraq says a nephew of Saddam Hussein has been arrested in Beirut on suspicion of war crimes.


The prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki, announced on Wednesday that Bashar Sabawi Ibrahim Hassan al-Tikriti was arrested with the assistance of Lebanese police.

However, the announcement did not say when exactly al-Tikriti was arrested or what for.

"Bashar Sabawi al-Tikriti is an important element on the most-wanted list due to his ugly crimes against the Iraqi people after the fall of the former regime," the announcement said.
