BAGHDAD, Iraq, December 9, -- A nephew of
Saddam Hussein serving a life sentence for making
bombs for Iraq's insurgency escaped from prison
Saturday in northern Iraq near Mosul city,
authorities said today.
Ayman Sabawi, the son of Saddam's half brother
Sabawi Ibrahim Hassan al-Tikriti, fled the prison
some 45 miles west of Mosul in the afternoon with
the help of a police officer, according to local
police Brig. Abdul Karim al-Jubouri.
Interior Ministry spokesman Brig. Abdul-Karim Khalaf
confirmed the escape but declined to elaborate.
Sabawi was convicted of illegally crossing the
border from Syria and sentenced to 15 years in
prison late last year by an Iraqi court.
He was sentenced to life in prison in an earlier
case for possession of illegal weapons and
manufacture of explosive devices.

He was captured in May 2005 by security forces
during a raid on Tikrit, the former leader's
hometown. His father, who served as a presidential
adviser before the U.S.-led liberation, was captured
there two months earlier.
