Most wanted list is now down to 13 from a starting pack of 55

With the capture of Saddam Hussein, only 13 people are left on the coalition forces' most-wanted list in Iraq.

Saddam appeared as the Ace of Spades when the list of the 55 most-wanted individuals was distributed to coalition troops in April in the form of a pack of playing cards. The remaining fugitives on the listinclude relatives of the former president and a man now sought for the bombing of the United Nations headquarters in Baghdad in August.Others may already have been dead when the cards were issued, the United States has admitted.

The highest-ranking official of the former regime still at large is Lieutenant General Izzat Ibrahim al-Duri (ranked the sixth most wanted). He was Saddam's long-standing deputy and allegedly bankrolled attacks on Allied troops. The US military, which has posted a $10m (£5.8m) bounty on Duri's head, earlier this month launched a search operation for him near Kirkuk. Duri holds the titles of Revolutionary Command Council (RCC) Vice-Chairman; Northern Region Commander Inner Circle; Deputy Secretary General, Baath party Regional Command; and Deputy Commander, Armed Forces.

Other wanted figures are:

Colonel Hani abd al-Latif al-Tilfah al-Tikriti (ranked seven): Director, Special Security Organisation (SSO) and responsible for Security And Investigations; Assistant to Qusay; Saddam's nephew.

Lieutenant Sayf al-Din Fulayyih Hasan Taha al-Rawi (14): Iraqi Republican Guard chief of staff. In June it was reported that he was hiding in a small town in the desert hundreds of miles from Baghdad after faking his death and holding a mock funeral.

Lieutenant General Tahir Jalil Habbush al-Tikriti (16): Director, Iraqi Intelligence Service (Mukhabarat) since 1999. Reportedly informed Saddam that Mohammed Atta, the al-Qa'ida mastermind of the 11 September 2001 attacks against the US, was trained in Baghdad by Abu Nidal, the notorious Palestinian terrorist.

Rukan Razuki abd al-Ghafar Sulayman al-Nasiri (21): Saddam's Senior Bodyguard; Head of Tribal Affairs; member of inner circle.

Iraqi security services have described al-Muhammad as a liaison between secular supporters of Saddam and foreign Islamic fighters who have infiltrated Iraq on a religious mission to attack coalition forces. Based in Fallujah, west of Baghdad, he was being sought about his possible role in the bombing of the United Nations headquarters in Baghdad in August which killed 24.
