Number 29 on the U.S. list of most wanted government officials, Saddam Hussein's former interior minister, surrendered to coalition forces Friday.

The military had announced Mahmud Dhiyab Al-Ahmad's capture in July, but officials are now saying that was a mistake.

So far, 31 of the 55 most want Iraqis are in custody, two are dead, two are possibly dead, and one is listed as "status unknown."
