Wednesday, May 7 2003 21:08 Hrs (IST)
Baghdad: US officials on May 7 said they had captured another member of Saddam Hussein's regime.
An Australian newspaper reported that it had been handed a tape purportedly recorded on May 5 in
which deposed leader Saddam Hussein urges Iraqis to remain loyal and join the battle against US forces
occupying the country.
In Qatar, US officials said a once-leading Baath Party and militia commander for Central Iraq was in
coalition custody. They provided no detail on how Ghazi Hammud al-Ubaydi fell into their hands. He was
number 32 on the US list of 55 most-wanted Iraqis.
