Saddam's daughter, wife listed as wanted

The body of former al-Qaida chief al-Zarqawi was buried secretly.
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- Saddam Hussein's wife and eldest daughter are among 41 people on the Iraqi government's most wanted list, along with the new leader of al-Qaida in Iraq, a top official announced Sunday.
National security adviser Mouwafak al-Rubaie also said the former al-Qaida boss, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, had been buried secretly in Baghdad despite his family's demand that the body be returned to Jordan. Al-Zarqawi died June 7 from a U.S. airstrike northeast of Baghdad.
Al-Rubaie told reporters the government was releasing the most-wanted list "so that our people can know their enemies."
Saddam's wife, Sajida Khairallah Tulfah, was No. 17, just behind the ousted leader's eldest daughter, Raghad. Sajida is believed to be in Qatar, and Raghad lives in Jordan, where she was given refuge by King Abdullah II.
"We have contacted all the neighboring countries and they know what we want. Some of these countries are cooperating with us," al-Rubaie said. "We will chase them inside and outside Iraq. We will chase them one after the other."
Iraqi officials have long alleged that Saddam's relatives who fled the country have been financing insurgent groups linked to the former ruling Baath party. Raghad has played a leading role in organizing her father's legal defense against charges stemming from his 23-year rule.
Jordan
Jordanian Prime Minister Marouf Al-Bakhit said Sunday that Raghad was not engaging in any political or media activities in Jordan.
"Raghad Saddam Hussein and her children are in Jordan for purely humanitarian reasons, hosted and protected by the Hashemite [Jordanian Royal Family] as foreigners," al-Bakhit said in remarks carried by Jordan's official Petra news agency.
Al-Bakhit said Jordan hadn't received an official request from Iraq about Raghad's wanted status.
The No. 1 spot on the list went to Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, formerly Saddam's top lieutenant and the highest-ranking regime figure to elude capture. The U.S. has offered $10 million for al-Douri, who is alleged to be among the key organizers of the insurgency.
