Maybe. Then again, maybe he's not feeling quite so poorly.Meanwhile, Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, the fugitive confidant of Saddam, has seen his health deteriorate so much that his influence over leaders of the outlawed Baath party has diminished, the Iraqi government has claimed.
Then again, he could be dead, but that shouldn't discourage either side from using him for propaganda purposes.Toppled Iraqi president Saddam Hussein's former deputy Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, aged 61, the highest-ranking former regime official still at large, got married and recently had a baby daughter after the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, the pan-Arab daily Al-Hayat reported on Friday, quoting sources close to Iraq's insurgency.
The US has a 10 million dollar bounty on al-Douri[...]
The Iraqi Baath party's leadership, which is currently scattered inside and outside of Iraq, allegedly sent its congratulations to al-Douri on the birth of his eleventh daughter, named 'Tahir' which means liberation in Arabic, al-Hayat reported, quoting sources in London.
Al-Douri also allegedly visited his wife, who is believed to have given birth to Tahir in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul before fleeing to an undisclosed location, al-Hayat said, adding that aside from a a stomach complaint, al-Douri is reportedly in good health.
