(IraqiNews.com) Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi revealed on Saturday the arrest of the former official of the Baath Party Abdul Baqi Saadoun in Kirkuk, one of the most wanted men who have not been arrested since the overthrow of former President Saddam Hussein’s regime in 2003.

Abadi said: “the intelligence service was able to capture the wanted Abdel Baqi al-Saadoun.”

Sadoun took over several leadership positions in the Baath Party during the era of Saddam Hussein. The United States included him on the list of the most wanted after the fall of the regime following the US invasion in 2003. He was accused of committing crimes against humanity during the protests in 1999.
