...Mohammed Imad Khazalalrubai does not appear in any deck of cards or on any list of Iraq's most wanted. Until last week, the 16-year-old was an ordinary student in an affluent suburb of Baghdad. But it took only minutes to transform him from a bystander to American rule in Iraq to a willing recruit for the resistance movement, vowing to kill U.S. soldiers. As he and his brother Zaid drove home after collecting their family's monthly rations of flour, rice and cooking oil, they came upon a hastily established American checkpoint, part of an outer security...
...Americans can take some satisfaction from a few big catches: after passing out the 55 playing cards depicting their most wanted, they began to take some tricks--two half brothers, the Finance Minister, a senior party official. Top science adviser Amir al-Saadi had surrendered the week before, and Imad Hussayn al-Ani, who is supposed to have been in charge of Saddam's VX nerve-gas program, turned himself in on Friday.

But Parlindungan, who had returned to Indonesia in December 2000 from Spain, mysteriously disappeared last November, after Spanish police arrested Imad and seven other suspected terrorists. "The Indonesians had him in their hands," says a Western intelligence source in Jakarta, "he was under 24-hr. surveillance and then when the request came in for his arrest, he suddenly couldn't be found." This time, though, it's a sure...
...night of Jan. 3, catching most of the 13 crew members asleep. The Israelis say the crew told them the weapons were loaded onto the Karine A from boats off the Iranian coast in an operation headed by Lebanese Hajj Bassem, an assistant to the notorious terrorist Imad Mughniyah. A leader of the Lebanese militia Hizballah, Mughniyah has close ties to Iran and is blamed by the Americans for the 1983 bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut. Israeli intelligence tells TIME the captured captain of the ship, Omar Akawi, a maritime adviser to the Palestinian Transportation Ministry, identified...
