BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraqi police arrested Sunday the No. 41 on a U.S. "most wanted" list of 55 former officials of Saddam Hussein's government, giving the beleaguered force a scrap of cheer at the end of a bloody week.

The U.S. administrator in Iraq said he was awaiting a U.N. recommendation on a handover of sovereignty to Iraqis, insisting it come by June 30 as President Bush has demanded but showing some willingness to speed up proposed national elections.

Iraq's leaders and six neighboring states called for a central role for the United Nations in the transfer of power.

Iraq's Deputy Interior Minister Ahmed Kadhim said police arrested Muhammad Zimam Abd al-Razzaq al-Sadun, a senior member of Saddam's toppled Baath Party.

He told Reuters Sadun was detained by police at noon (0900 GMT) Sunday.

"He is now held in my office," Kadhim said. Asked if he would be handed over to the U.S. military, Kadhim said: "We are interrogating him now, we will see what we'll do later."

Qatar-based Al Jazeera television showed a man it said was Sadun, sitting in a room appearing startled and clothed in traditional Iraqi dress.

"What is special about this operation is that the Iraqi police alone conducted it. It is a distinguished operation which should be a source of joy for Iraqis because they now have police they can depend on," Kadhim told a news conference.

I say:

The terrorists and deposed oppressors are doing what they can do kill these people, just for trying to rule themselves. But still they make progress. They won't be deterred very easily.

Suck it up, Saddam lovers. For all your fighting dirty, freedom is still winning.
