The U.S. military said on November 18, 2003 that it had new information one of Saddam Hussein's most feared lieutenants, Izzat Ibrahim, was involved in some of the attacks that have killed at least 177 U.S. soldiers since the official end of major combat in Iraq on May 1. Ibrahim, pictured during a parade in the city of Mosul, 460 km (285 miles) north of Baghdad in this February 4, 2003 file photo, is the most senior Iraqi still on the run aside from Hussein himself and was considered one of his most ruthless enforcers and trusted confidants.
