U.S. list of most-wanted Iraqis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In April 2003, the United States drew up a list of most-wanted Iraqis, consisting of the 55 members of the deposed Iraqi regime whom they most wanted to capture. The list was turned into a set of playing cards for distribution to United States troops. Later in 2003 the list was renumbered so that it mostly conformed to the order of the playing cards (see most-wanted Iraqi playing cards). As of January 2008, only 10 of the original 55 names remain at large. It is possible that some or all of these individuals have been killed in the sectarian violence or military operations that ensued after the end of the invasion.

This is the new numbering of the list. Currently, only ten are believed to be at large.
