Hussein has skimmed
billions in oil profits
A joint U.S.-Kuwait investigation
has found that Saddam Hussein's
family skimmed $10 billion
in oil profits since 1981 and
bought nearly $1 billion worth of
shares in public companies, a
government source in Washington
said Monday.
The State Department, the
Treasury Department and the
FBI, in cooperation with the Kuwaiti
government and private
consultant Jules Kroll, have been
investigating the Iraqi president's
finances since Iraq invaded Kuwait
on Aug. 2, said the source,
who spoke on condition of
anonymity.

Soldiers in Mali have arrested
Gen. Moussa Traore following
days of rioting and protests
against the embattled president,
sources in Mali's capital said
early Tuesday.
Idrissa Traore, president of the
Mali Barristers' Association, said
military sources in Bamako informed
him of the president's detention.
He did not describe the
action as a "coup" but said the
soldiers "have the situation under
control."
