[newyawker99]

Saddam Hussein's former interior minister and a top member of his Baath party have been taken into custody, the latest in a list of most-wanted fugitives from the ousted regime, the U.S. military said Wednesday.

Mizban Khadr Hadi, the high-ranking member of the party's regional command, and former interior minister Mahmud Diab al-Ahmed were taken into custody Tuesday, the U.S. Central Command said.

Hadi, No. 23 on the U.S. most-wanted list, surrendered in Baghdad. Al-Ahmed, No. 29, was captured, Centcom said in a statement that provided no further details.

The United States has 34 of the 55 most-wanted in custody. On June 17, Abid Hamid Mahmud al-Tikriti, Saddam's top aide, surrendered after informants tipped U.S. forces to his whereabouts in Tikrit.
