Tahir_Jalil_Habbush_al-Tikriti
Tahir Jalil Habbush al-Tikriti (Arabic: طاهر جليل حبوش التكريتي; born 1950) is a former Iraqi intelligence official who served under the regime of Saddam Hussein. In 2001, he was Iraq's head of intelligence and as such, informed MI6 in January 2003 (shortly before the start of the Iraq War) that Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction.[1] He was the "Jack of Diamonds" in the US deck of most-wanted Iraqi playing cards[2] and is still a fugitive with a reward of up to $1 million for information leading to his capture.[3] It is believed that al-Tikriti at some point operated from Syria and most likely played a direct role in the day-to-day operations of the insurgency against U.S.-led Coalition forces under the command of Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri.[4]
