Saddam's former deputy vows to carry on fighting

Saddam Hussein’s former deputy has vowed that loyalists to the deposed dictator will continue fighting until the US withdraws from Iraq, according to an interview published today.

Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, a fugitive with a $10m (€6.3m) bounty on his head, has not been seen publicly since the fall of Saddam’s regime in April 2003.
