Dr Germ and Mrs Anthrax freed PATRICK QUINN IN BAGHDAD SENIOR officials who served in Saddam Hussein's government were released from prison in Iraq yesterday, including several who featured in the famous deck of cards handed to US soldiers as they prepared to invade. An Iraqi lawyer said about 25 former top officials have been released, and some have already left the country. Badee Izzat Aref said some of those released were his clients. "The release was an American-Iraqi decision and in line with an Iraqi government ruling made in December 2004, but hasn't been enforced until after the elections," Mr Aref said. A legal official in Baghdad said Rihab Taha, known as "Dr Germ," and Huda Salih Ammash - ranked 53rd on the US-led coalition's list of most-wanted officials from the former regime and known as "Mrs Anthrax" - were among those released. The legal official, who asked not to be named, said those released also included Hossam Mohammed Amin, head of the weapons inspections directorate; Ibrahim al-Ani, an intelligence official; and Hamid al-Janabi, a prison director. Mr Aref said no charges had ever been filed against those freed. He also represents former deputy leader Tariq Aziz.
