Kurdish fighters in Mosul have captured former Iraqi vice-president Taha Yassin Ramadan and handed him over to United States forces, CNN quoted sources in the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan as saying on Monday.
He was number 20 on the coalition's most wanted list and the 10 of diamonds in the playing card deck of suspects.
Ramadan was the senior of two vice-presidents in Saddam Hussein's regime.
