Lieutenant General Abid Hamid Mahmud was an Iraqi military officer under Saddam Hussein's deposed regime.
He began his military career as an non-commissioned officer and rose through the ranks, becoming part of Saddam's personal bodyguard and, finally, his Special Security Organization.
He was designated ace of diamonds in the US administrations most-wanted Iraqi playing cards and fourth on the most-wanted list after Saddam and his sons Uday and Qusay.
He was captured by coalition forces in June 2003.
