The US military is holding Saddam Hussein in the Baghdad area, a member of the Iraqi Governing Council said Wednesday.

"He is still in greater Baghdad," said council member Mouwafak al-Rubaie. "Maybe he will stay there until he stands trial."

Al-Rubaie spoke at a news conference where council members issued a statement asking for Iraqis to seek reconciliation following the weekend capture of Saddam.

US officials have confirmed that the former president was at an undisclosed location in Iraq.
