U.S. Troops Seize Wife, Daughter of Iraqi Fugitive

U.S. troops apprehend the wife and daughter of Issat Ibrahim al-Douri, the former vice chairman of Iraq's Revolutionary Command Council who is number six on the U.S. list of most-wanted Iraqis. The military says al-Douri has helped lead the insurgency against the U.S.-led occupation of Iraq. Troops also capture a man reputed to be one of Saddam's bodyguards. NPR's Peter Kenyon reports.
