BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraqi police have captured a former Baath Party chairman who was No. 41 on the U.S. military’s most-wanted list, leaving only 10 fugitives from the list still at large.
Mohammed Zimam Abdul-Razaq was arrested at one of his homes in western Baghdad, Deputy Interior Minister Ahmed Kadhum Ibrahim told journalists on Sunday.
Abdul-Razaq sat next to the Iraqi official wearing a traditional black robe. Ibrahim said he did not resist arrest.
Under Saddam Hussein, Abdul-Razaq was the Baath Party regional chairman in the northern provinces of Nineveh and Tamim, which include the city of Kirkuk.
The U.S. military has offered a $1 million reward for all those still at large on the list.
While presenting Abdul-Razaq to reporters, Ibrahim appealed to the top Iraqi fugitive, Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, to surrender, promising he would be treated with dignity. Al-Douri is the former vice chairman of the ruling Revolutionary Command Council.
