Saddam's Wife May Have Gone To Syria

Saddam Hussein's first wife is believed to have left Iraq, and some uncorroborated reports put her and some other Iraqi leaders in Syria, American officials said Monday.
But some officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the intelligence on those leaders going to Syria falls well short of confirmed information, and in some cases is viewed as rumor.

Some reports put Saddam's first wife, Sajida Khairallah Telfah, in Syria, but other reports put her in other countries that officials declined to specify. It is unclear when she left Iraq.

her and some other Iraqi leaders

I don't know much at all about this wife. Is it reasonable to refer to her as an "Iraqi leader"? Is she implicated in any of Saddam's crimes? (What I'm getting at here is, is there any reason to pursue her?)

Yeah. Why pursue her? Was she active in the crimes against the people?

Is she the only wife Saddam has? I'm sure there are others. What about them?
