Washington - The United States has detained former Iraqi deputy prime minister Tareq Aziz, US media said on Thursday.

Aziz, an outspoken defender of Saddam's regime during the months leading up to the Iraqi war, was the Eight of Spades in the deck of 55 playing cards distributed to US servicemen.

Aziz was one of the few Christians in Saddam's predominantly Suni Muslim government.

CNN and ABC television both cited US officials saying Aziz had turned himself in to American authorities.

ABC said Aziz had given himself up. CNN said the details were not immediately known. - Sapa-AFP
