INTERESTING TACTIC

U.S. forces in Iraq say they have arrested the wife and daughter of a top Iraqi fugitive suspected of masterminding attacks against coalition forces. A military spokesman says the wife and daughter of Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri were taken into custody Tuesday in the town of Samarra, north of Baghdad.
Mr. al-Douri was a longtime associate of deposed Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. He was deputy leader of Iraq's ruling Revolutionary Command Council and reportedly played a key role in cracking down on political dissent and in overseeing Iraq's use of chemical weapons against ethnic kurds in 1988.

The United States has offered a reward of up to $10 million for his capture. He is number six on the 55 most wanted officials from the former Iraqi regime.
