The US military on Wednesday announced a $10 million reward for information leading to the capture of Saddam Hussein's top deputy, who is believed to be behind many of the insurgent attacks in Iraq.

Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri is the second most-wanted Iraqi behind Saddam. Both men remain at large.

Al-Douri was the vice chairman of Iraq's Revolutionary Command Council and is No. 6 on the list of the 55 most-wanted Iraqis. Of the other top six, three have been killed, and one is in custody.

The Bush administration has offered up to $25 million for information leading to Saddam's arrest or proof of his death.
