 One of Saddam Hussein's most trusted aides, Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, has died, his Baath party says. "The leader of the resistance... died on Friday, 11 November, at 0220 [Thursday 2320 GMT]," the statement said. There are no other details. Mr Douri was the most senior figure in the former regime still at large. The US had offered a $10m reward for information leading to his capture. Mr Douri served as vice-chairman of the Revolutionary Command Council. He is accused of financing insurgent groups in Iraq.| If you're really dead, Rusty, good riddance. Hope it hurt like hell. |
