AN IRAQI TAKES CHARGE.

Wow! Interesting story.
Saddam Hussein's former military intelligence chief has left for the desert around Samara north of Baghdad to track down Saddam Hussein, who he alleges is hiding out there.

"We have various pieces of information saying he's present in the region, even if no one's seen him," Wafiq al-Samarrai said Sunday. "I'm leaving today to search for Saddam and his partisans."

"We will share information we'll gather with the Americans," said the founder and secretary general of the National Salvation Movement, who has no military forces under his control apart from personal security guards.

Samarrai, who defected in 1994 and became an Iraqi opposition figure, said his decision to launch the hunt was cemented after an overnight attack on his house by "men loyal to Saddam."

Good luck Samarrai.
