Iraq's most wanted
Bernard Hibbitts at 4:45 PM ET

The US Defense Department has released images of a set of cards being issued to US troops for the purpose of helping them identify and capture members and associates of the Saddam Hussein regime wanted for war crimes. The cards were introduced at the US Central Command daily briefing in Qatar Friday morning:...the coalition governments have identified a list of key regime leaders who must be pursued and brought to justice. The key list has 55 individuals who may be pursued, killed or captured, and the list does not exclude leaders who may have already been killed or captured. This list has been provided to coalition forces on the ground in several forms to ease identification when contact does occur. And this deck of cards is one example of what we provide to soldiers out -- soldiers and marines out in the field -- with the faces of the individuals and what their role is. In this case, there are 55 cards in the deck.
The list is also being distributed throughout the country in other forms, including posters and handbills, and those will become more and more visible over the coming days. And the intent here is to help the coalition gain information from the Iraqi people, so that they also know exactly who it is we seek. Review the complete transcript of the CENTCOM briefing.
