Home of Hussein’s Half Brother Bombed
From Times Wire Reports
Coalition warplanes bombed an Iraqi intelligence operations site occupied by President Saddam Hussein’s half brother, a close advisor who allegedly helped stash millions of dollars abroad for the Iraqi leader, the U.S. Central Command said in Doha, Qatar.
The command said Barzan Ibrahim Tikriti’s building was near Ramadi, about 60 miles west of Baghdad.
There was no immediate assessment of the damage. Tikriti was chief of Hussein’s secret police in the 1980s.
