Saddam Hussein’s former chief weapons scientist has surrendered to U.S. forces. General Amir Hamudi al-Sadi gave himself up in Baghdad less than 24 hours after being named as one of 55 former Iraqi officials wanted dead or alive by the United States. Al-Sadi oversaw the country’s chemical weapons. He said Iraq does not possess chemical or biological weapons and that there was no justification for an attack on his country. He was taken for questioning to an undisclosed location.
