Top Baathist may be alive after all

Alive or dead? Dunno.

U.S. troops will continue to search for Saddam Hussein's chief deputy, the U.S. command said Sunday, casting doubt on an online claim that the suspected architect of the Iraqi insurgency had died.

A Baathist Web site on Saturday reported that Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri had died the previous day; another Web site, also purporting to carry statements from the banned party, said al-Douri was alive and apologized for the false report of his death.
