Comical Ali looked quite good in this picture from July/August: On 05/08/2022 at 22:53, arghton said: Amman, the widow of Salih Mahdi Ammash (1924-1985) VP of Iraq with Saddam 1970-1971 who was murdered in Helsinki in 1985 and mother of Huda Salih Mahdi Ammash aka. Mrs. Anthrax, Iraqi politician/scientist and the only woman in the Most-wanted Iraqi playing cards, died at the end of last month. Why am I mentioning this in this thread? According to talk on facebook Muhammad Saeed al-Sahhaf, aka. Comical Ali/Baghdad Bob made a very rare appearance at her memorial service, and if this isn't a hoax and it doesn't turn out to be an old picture, he looks amazing for an octogenarian (82? 85?) who was "terminally ill" with cancer seven years ago: However I'm still not fully convinced this was new, considering he looked horrible seven years ago. So much fake information going around frequently about Saddam-era politicians and his family. I recall Mrs. Anthrax herself has been rumored dead a few times too. And Talfah was rumored dead in 2015. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Most Wanted Iraqi playing cards (52 names), and the slightly larger U.S. List of Most Wanted Iraqis (55 names). It’s the same 5 still at large on both lists: Kazim, Hani Tilfah, Rafi Tilfah, Habbush and Saif al-Rawi. Nobody is really looking for these people. They weren’t high profile or central to Saddam’s regime as such. 17 years have passed. It’s possible they’ll continue to evade capture and die in (relative) freedom like al-Douri.

King of diamonds Iraqi Governor of Kuwait, Ba'ath party branch command chairman and King of Diamonds in the Iraqi most wanted playing cards Aziz Saleh Al-Numan is widely reported to have died in a prison in Baghdad yesterday at 82. I wonder how many there are still behind bars. Alaa Hussein Ali, Saddam's puppet leader of Kuwait is also still alive but is said to be in frail/ill health. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ulitzer95 12,844 Posted January 31 30 of the 52 are now dead. 4 are still at large, and at this point are unlikely to get caught as Iraqi fugitives are not a priority of the U.S. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
