Raghad Hussein, the daughter of Saddam Hussein, was indeed on the wanted list of the Iraqi government after her father's regime was toppled in 2003. Here are some key points about her:
Wanted by: The Iraqi government, specifically the Ministry of Interior and the Iraqi Special Tribunal.
Charges: Raghad was wanted for her alleged involvement in war crimes, crimes against humanity, and other serious offenses committed during her father's regime.
Reasons for arrest: The Iraqi government accused Raghad of being involved in the suppression of the 1991 uprisings against her father's regime, as well as the persecution of political opponents and minorities. She was also suspected of being involved in the torture and execution of prisoners.
Whereabouts: After her father's capture in 2003, Raghad fled to Syria, where she was granted asylum. She lived in exile in Damascus until 2005, when she was arrested and detained by Syrian authorities.
Trial and sentencing: In 2006, Raghad was extradited to Iraq and put on trial for her alleged crimes. In 2008, she was sentenced to 15 years in prison, but was released in 2011 as part of a general amnesty.
Current status: Raghad is currently living in Jordan, where she has been granted asylum. She has been involved in various humanitarian and charitable activities, and has spoken publicly about her experiences during her father's regime.
It's worth noting that Raghad's brother, Qusay Hussein, was also on the wanted list and was killed in a US military operation in 2003.
