Two more of the top 55 captured

Two more of the Top 55 are captured:

Latif Nusayyif al-Jasim al-Dulaymi, No. 18 on the top 55 list, was the most senior man captured. He's a former member of Saddam's Revolutionary Command Council, the small committee of the former dictator's top advisers, and a former deputy secretary of the Baath Party's military bureau.

The second man captured was a top official in the chemical weapons corps of the Iraqi military. Brig. Gen. Husayn al-Awadi, No. 53 on the most-wanted list, also was a regional Baath Party leader in the Ninawa region of northern Iraq.

Latif Nusayyif al-Jasim al-Dulaymi was the 10 of Clubs in the famous deck of cards.
