BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraq on Wednesday announced the arrest in Lebanon of a nephew of Saddam Hussein for crimes allegedly committed after the fall of Saddam's regime.

"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.

"The arrest of the criminal Bashar Sabawi al-Tikriti represent a successful intelligence operation which will continue chasing the former regime elements on the run and bring them back to Iraq to face fair trials," the announcement said.

It added that "the arrest of Bashar Sabawi al-Tikriti is a message to the rest of the terrorists inside or outside Iraq and who will fall in the hands of the security forces so that they receive their appropriate punishment."

1. Interesting that this guy is now a "terrorist."

And not just the horribly rotten murdering, torture-loving
nephew of a former horribly rotten murdering, torture-loving
dictator.

BushCo's definition of who's a terrorist and who's not
has me so confused! (Shakes incredibly thick blond hair.)
