US commanders in Iraq have been issued with a list of 55 most wanted Iraqi leaders, which includes President Saddam Hussein, said a spokesman of the US Central Command in Qatar on Friday.

The Iraqi regime leadership and control groups have been broken, and some of the Iraqi leaders on the US wanted list may have been killed in coalition strikes, Brigadier General Vincent Brooks told a press conference.

The suicide bombing against US troops in Baghdad on Thursday showed that there are still threats "terrorist in nature" in the capital city, Brooks said.

A man strapped with explosives blew himself up at a checkpoint near the Saddam City section of Baghdad Thursday night. One US Marine was killed and three other Marines were seriously wounded.

US forces signed a cease-fire agreement with the commander of the Iraqi 5th Army Corps in the northern town of Mosul on Friday, Brooks said.

The US officer said Saddam International Airport will soon be open for commercial aircraft carrying humanitarian aid for Iraqis to land and take off, but it will be used in a very "selective" way over security concerns.
