Mahmud Dhiyab

Mahmud Dhiyab

Mahmud Dhiyab al-Ahmad is a former Iraqi diplomat, who held several cabinet-level positions.

Dhiyab was Iraq's Minister of Agriculture during the Gulf War. In September of 1991, he became involved in a dispute with Hussein Kamel al-Majid, Iraq's Minister of Defense, over the reconstruction of Baghdad's Republic Bridge.[1] In the mid-1990s, Dhiyab served as Iraq's Minister of Housing and Reconstruction. He later became Minister of Irrigation, during which time he was a central figure in negotiations with Turkey and Syria over water rights. Dhiyab succeeded Muhammad Zimam Abd al-Razzaq as Iraq's Interior Minister on May 28, 2001, with Abd al-Razzaq stepping down in order to devote more time to his work as head of the Ba'th Party in Kirkuk and Niniveh.[2] Rasul Abd-al-Husayn al-Swadi succeeded Dhiyab as Minister of Irrigation. As a result of the Iraq War, Dhiyab was removed from power with the rest of Hussein's regime. After the invasion, he was listed as the seven of spades on the most-wanted Iraqi playing cards. American forces announced that they had captured Dhiyab on July 9, 2003,[3] but this proved to be an error.[4] The real Dhiyab surrendered himself on August 9, 2003.[4] During Dhiyab's time in captivity, he autographed a playing card bearing his likeness for one of his jailers, Sergeant Mark Heinbaugh, adding the inscription "with my respect".[5]
