Saddam’s Nephew in Yemen a Major Terrorist: Iraqis
The Iraqis are talking about current support of terrorists. He is leading and financing terrorist operations in Northern Iraq, causing death and destruction.
BAGHDAD, Nov. 17 (Xinhuanet) — Iraqi Attorney General Chathanfar Hmod Al-Jasim presented Interpol with an extradition request to bring Saddam Hussein’s nephew from Yemen back to Baghdad to standtrial for “committing acts of terror,” the US military said in a statement on Thursday.Omar Sabawi Ibrahim Hasan Al-Tikriti, the son of Saddam Hussein’s half brother, has been sought by Iraqi officials for his leading role and financial support to “terrorist organizations”,the military said in a statement.
Omar, 35, “focused much of his financial support and leadership on terrorist activities throughout northern and central Iraq,including Mosul,” the statement said.
“His efforts resulted in many deaths, injuries and destruction of property,” it added.
Omar’s father, Sabawi Ibrahim Hasan Al-Tikriti, former director of the Iraqi Intelligence Service, is a waiting trial for committing crimes against humanity. Enditem
Many of Iraq’s upper generals who fled Iraq as the regime fell were recruited by the Yemeni military. (That’s like recruiting French generals, what’s the point?)
Lets put this together with the published report a few months ago by an anonymous official of “subersive” (al-Qaeda) elements in Yemen’s military and security forces that have established training camps for the Baathists.
Also recall the top Zaidi scholar said that the Iraqi generals in the Yemeni military urged Saleh to slaughter the Shiites like Saddam, at the same time as the reports of targeting civilians in Saada began to emerge and Sistani called it a jihad. Do we remember all this: dragging the burnt bodies behind the military vehicles, trashing the libraries, arresting doctors who were caring for the wounded, mass arrests without trial of whole villages including young boys. Currently the region is still closed of to everyone, and the jails are still filled.
Wasn’t there just a highly publicized trial of some Iraqi “terrorists” (that were in jail for two years) who were said to be in possessionof some handgranades. There was less publicity when they were acquited by a judge who said there wasnt a shred of evidence against the four teachers who insisted all along they were tortured into confessions.
But Saddam’s Nephew, son of the Iraqi Chief of Intelligence, is running terrorist operatations out of Yemen where there’s military checkpoints every ten feet, and Saleh doesn’t know and there’s no support for al-Tikritis operations from the Yemeni military, our important Partners in the WOT with whom we do mil-to-mil. Either Saleh is completely incompetant or he’s knowingly permitting big terrorists to operate from Yemen. My guess is both.
More from ADNKI: Last month, one of Omar’s brothers, Yassir Sabawi Ibrahim, was captured in Baghdad, accused of being one of the main financiers for the insurgency activities. Following his arrest, the Iraqi interior minister Bayan Jabr said Yassir had told interrogators he had been receiving money from someone “from the family of Saddam” living in “other Arab countries” to deliver to insurgents in Iraq.
