Old #6 - Izzat al-Douri: I've been waiting and watching for his capture.
Mr. Ibrahim, an uneducated ice peddler who became one of Mr. Hussein's most feared henchmen, was apprehended at a medical clinic where he had gone to receive treatment for leukemia, Iraqi officials said. One Iraqi official said that Mr. Ibrahim was accompanied by a large team of bodyguards, and that the ensuing battle left as many as 70 people dead and 80 wounded.

BAGHDAD, Sept 5 (Xinhuanet) -- Confusion reigns in Iraq's government over whether the most wanted Saddam Hussein aide, ex-Vice President Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, had been caught on Sunday.
Defense Minister Hazim al-Shalaan told Lebanon's LBC television that reports of the arrest of Ibrahim, who was sixth on a US list of the 55 most wanted members of Saddam's administration, were baseless.
However, Prime Minister Iyad Allawi's office later said that they captured "someone" and a DNA test is needed to confirm whether the man is Ibrahim.
