                  Jordan PM Says Raghd Is Royal Family Guest
                  Abdul Jalil Mustafa, Arab News 

                    
                  AMMAN/BAGHDAD, 4 July 2006 - Jordan said yesterday Saddam 
Hussein's eldest daughter Raghd and her children were guests of the royal 
family and did not engage in any political activities. Iraq on Sunday put Raghd 
on the 41 "most wanted" list, along with her mother Sajida and top Baathists 
and alleged Al-Qaeda leaders.

                  Prime Minister Marouf Bakheet was quoted in local papers as 
saying Raghd, who had been granted asylum by King Abdallah in 2003 after she 
fled with her sister to Jordan after the US invasion of Iraq, was living in 
Jordan for "humanitarian reasons." "She does not engage in any political or 
media activities. Mrs. Raghd Saddam and her children are guests of the 
Hashemites," Bakheet said.

                  A palace official said the asylum offer by Abdallah was a 
traditional gesture of Arab hospitality. Raghd has taken a leading role in 
organizing her father's legal defense in his trial for crimes against humanity. 
But officials say Raghd had abided by a request not to use Jordan as a platform 
to make political statements to the media.

                  A prominent Jordanian parliamentarian also ruled out the 
extradition of Raghd, saying neither the Jordanian law neither the 
international conventions sanction such a step. "Raghd enjoys international 
protection under the observed international conventions and the Jordanian 
extradition law of 1927," the Rapporteur of the Public Freedoms Committee at 
the lower house of Parliament Jamal Dmour was quoted as saying by the official 
Petra news agency.

                  He said that the extradition law of 1927 involved "strict 
restrictions, stating in particular that the motive for the extradition should 
not be political". Dmour dubbed as a "provocative and unethical move" Raghd's 
inclusion in a most-wanted list of 41 individuals. 

                  In Baghdad, Iraq's National Security Adviser Mowaffaq 
Al-Rubaie, who disclosed the list in a televised news conference, declined to 
say if arrest warrants had been issued for Raghd and her mother but said 
Interpol had received the list. 

                  According to a Qatari official who declined to be named, 
Saddam's wife Sajida is currently living in Doha although the Qatari 
government, which has hosted several controversial figures in the past, has 
made no official comment.

                  Meanwhile, Iraq's dominant Shiite leaders appeared divided 
yesterday over Prime Minister Nuri Al-Maliki's much-touted national 
reconciliation plan that aims to curb violence by offering amnesty to rebels. 
Abdel Aziz Al-Hakim, the powerful head of Parliament's largest bloc, told AFP 
he favored extending an amnesty to insurgents who may have killed US troops - 
an idea strongly opposed by Maliki. 

                  "Yes they should be covered regardless of their religious or 
ethnic affiliations," Hakim said when asked if he would support extending the 
reconciliation and amnesty plan to those who may have attacked or killed US-led 
troops.
