Baghdad: Saddam Hussain's wife and eldest daughter have been named in Iraq's most-wanted list on Sunday.

The ousted president's wife, Sajida Khairallah Tulfah, is believed to be living in Qatar, and daughter Raghad has been living in Jordan. No reward was offered for information on them.

Al Qaida's new leader in Iraq, Abu Hamza Al Muhajer, was also named on the list, as well as one of Saddam's closest allies.

The government also announced a bounty for several people on the list, with a $50,000 reward for Al Muhajer. The Iraq bounty comes two days after the US offered a $5 million reward for the leader.

Authorities have stressed that the list is completely independent from any rewards offered by the US.

The largest reward was $10 million for Izzat Ibrahim Al Douri, a former top official in Saddam's regime. He is believed to have played a big part in launching the insurgency.

National Security Adviser Mouwafak Al Rubaie told a news conference, "We are releasing this list so that our people can know their enemies."

"Those people are carrying out bombings and random killings as they aim to inflict damage on the Iraqi people and ignite a sectarian war between Shiites and Sunnis," he said.

He added that countries hosting those on the list and Interpol had been informed.
