BAGHDAD, Iraq - Security forces in Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s hometown captured two of the ousted dictator's relatives, who allegedly were helping insurgents launch attacks in Iraq (news - web sites), the government said Monday.



The two were identified as one-time Saddam bodyguard Marwan Taher Abdul Rashid and his cousin, Abdullah Maher Abdul Rashid — who also was the brother-in-law of Saddam's son, Qusai, state-run Iraqiya television reported.


The two were captured March 8 in Tikrit, Saddam's hometown north of Baghdad, the government said in a statement.


Abdullah Maher Abdul Rashid was strongly believed to have "used big amounts of money that he received from Qusai ... to finance terrorism in Iraq," the statement said.


Marwan Taher Abdul Rashid "was once a bodyguard for Saddam Hussein and has been involved in number of attacks against the security forces," the statement said, giving no other details.


The two are not listed on any of the American most-wanted lists.

so now we're arresting the distant relatives of a depostic ruler that had nothing to do with 9/11? remind me again how this is making us safer?

hey, they all make munitions salesmen happy

Don't know what all we brought to Iraq, but Democracy was not on the manifest.

AGAIN.

Charges will be what, aiding and abetting the opposition to a foreign invasion?

We let them go, then try to catch them? Wouldn't it have been easier to arrest them while they were still in the US?

I know, they probably weren't the same family members as the 9/11 group. The 9/11 group were probably guilty and the newly caught ones some kind of ruse.

That's the ticket: torture Saddam by making him spend Thanksgiving Day with them!

Bit of a stretch, eh?

You know, just so we are certain that they have been caught.
