The
fugitive former powerful deputy of Iraq's executed President Saddam
Hussein has released an audio recording urging all Iraqis to join
efforts to "liberate" the country and praised Sunni
militants who led last month's dramatic offensive through northern
Iraq.
The
recording features a 15-minute speech in a raspy voice purported to
be that of 72-year-old Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, who was Iraq's
vice-president when U.S.-led coalition forces invaded in 2003.
The
recording, which could not be immediately confirmed to be that of
al-Douri, was released on a website loyal to Saddam's ousted Baath
Party.
