U.S. list of most-wanted Iraqis


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.
