Iraqi police in Baghdad have captured the country's former finance minister, Hikmat Ibrahim al-Azzawi, and handed him over to coalition forces. Mr al-Azzawi, who was also a deputy prime minister, is number 45 the coalition forces' list of the 55 most wanted supporters of Saddam Hussein and the eight of diamonds on the notorious deck of cards handed out to US troops hunting Iraqi officials. He is the fourth person from the list to be captured — on Friday Iraqi Kurds handed over a senior Baath Party official, Samir al-Aziz al-Najem, after he was arrested in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul.CAPTURED IRAQI LEADERS (AS RANKED BY US FORCES)
