Insurgent financing network suffers next to last blow, but the big one is coming.
A nephew of Saddam Hussein believed to be the top financier to Iraq's insurgents could betray the location of missing Saddam fortunes, Iraq's interior minister hinted Thursday. Iraqi security officials said Yasir Sabhawi Ibrahim, a son of Saddam's half brother Sabhawi Ibrahim Hasan al-Tikriti, had been in Syria until the Damascus government forced him to leave. He was arrested within days of arriving in Iraq. Interior Minister Bayan Jabr said the suspect has told interrogators he was receiving money from someone "from the family of Saddam" living in "other Arab countries" to deliver to insurgents in Iraq. Iraqi security forces arrested Yasir Sabhawi Ibrahim during a pro-Saddam demonstration in the city of Tikrit on Wednesday, the day the former dictator's trial began in Baghdad, Jabr said. We will get more information from" Ibrahim to help determine who is the source of the funding for insurgents, Jabr said.
