STORYLINE

American forces have taken into custody Abid Hamid Mahmud al-Tikriti, Saddam Hussein's presidential secretary and Number four on the US most-wanted list of Iraq leaders, a US official said on Wednesday.

The official said Mahmud was captured in Iraq but had no further details.

Third in power only to Saddam and his younger son, Qusai, Mahmud controlled access to the deposed president and was one of the few people Saddam is said to have trusted completely, the official said.

The official was speaking on the condition of anonymity.
