"The former Iraqi chief obviously could not hide indefinitely
considering the scope of observation under which he was placed by
allied forces that covered the whole of Iraq. This could obviously
be expected," Mesic said during his visit to Moscow.
The former Iraqi president was arrested on Sunday near his hometown
of Tikrit following a large-scale operation by the US military.
