In an ABC news exclusive, former CIA officer Bob Baer, who now works with ABC, says Saddam’s intelligence chief tried to arrange Saddam’s surrender last week. He contacted Baer, with whom he had secretly worked in the past. “They told me the chief of Iraqi intelligence was seeking to get in touch with the United States and could I do anything about that,” says Baer. On April 11, Saddam’s top intelligence officer, Gen. Taher Haboush, came to the home of the Dulaym Tribe’s chief near the town of Ar-Ramadi on behalf of Saddam, to arrange a meeting. But shortly after he arrived, U.S. forces bombed the home, killing the chief, along with 17 members of his family. Haboush managed to escape.

The latest on Saddam is that he’s still in Iraq and is moving around the country constantly, in order to evade detection, according to Ahmad Chalabi, of the anti-Saddam Iraqi National Congress. He says his group is tracking Saddam, but stays around half a day behind him. “We have received information about his movements and the movements of his sons,” he says. “?We are aware of his movements and we are aware of the areas that he has been to, and we learn of this within 12 to 24 hours?We received intelligence about his son Qusay yesterday.” Chalabi says he doesn’t want any role in the new Iraqi government. In 1992, he was convicted in absentia by a Jordanian court of embezzlement, fraud and breach of trust after a bank he ran collapsed with about $300 million in missing deposits.read more
