The men who were arrested for plotting to kill the judge were carrying a document from former top Saddam deputy Izzat al-Douri ordering them to kill Raed Juhi, said Col. Anwar Qadir, a police commander in Kirkuk, where the men were arrested Saturday.
Al-Douri is the highest ranking member of the Saddam regime still at large and is believed to be at least the symbolic leader of Saddam loyalists still fighting U.S. forces and the new government in Iraq.
Al-Douri is apparently a man who will fight to the death, and beyond. Despite the presence of Zarqawi, there is no question who the real enemy is in Iraq. Clue--the leader sits in a cell in Baghdad.
