Iraqi police capture brother of Saddam bodyguard

Iraqi police have arrested the brother of one of Saddam Hussein’s top bodyguards and handed him to US forces, who wanted him for allegedly organising guerrilla attacks against American soldiers.

US Lt Col Steve Russell said the man was a brother of Adnan Abdullah Abid al-Musslit, the senior Saddam bodyguard who was captured on July 29 in Tikrit.
