Baghdad, July 2 (DPA) Iraqi National Security Advisor Muafaq al-Rabaei Sunday presented a list of Iraq's 41 'most wanted' terror suspects, headed by Al Qaeda's new leader in Iraq, Abu Hamza al-Muhajer.
The list includes individuals accused of committing or plotting acts of terrorism in Iraq - including the latest Sadr city car bombing which left 68 dead and 102 injured Saturday.
Al-Rabaei told reporters here that the list had been compiled over a period of nine months and was based on intelligence and security information collected by Iraq's four security organs. He added that the names had also been submitted to Interpol.
The list, which includes three women - including Saddam's wife Sajda Khair Allah and his daughter Raghd Saddam Hussein - is however 'not related to the list of 55 wanted individuals drawn up by the US authorities.'
The list of 41 wanted individuals, along with their photos, is to be posted in each police station and in mosques with rewards available for information leading to the detention of suspects.
Al-Rabaei called on the assistance of civilians and of neighbouring countries to apprehend the individuals, some of whom are based in Iraq while others are residing in Arab countries, and bring them to justice.
'We will apprehend them whether they are in Iraq or outside the country,' said the national security advisor.
A number of the suspects are accused of having links with the Al Qaeda terror network, while others are said to have broken off from existing Iraqi political currents and militias to form their own movements.
Al-Rabaei described terrorism as 'a cancer that recognises no religion or country.
