The military presence in
Baghdad lightened Sunday
when Marines left the Army in
control of the stabilizing capi
tal. Celebrating Easter, a long
time Iraqi bishop voiced the
fears of the Christian minority
in urging safeguards against
religious persecution in the
new Iraq.
The search for postwar
order was reinforced by signs
that Syria might help ease
regional tensions.
And authorities declared the
Iraqi missile threat against

The president attended
Easter services at the Ford
Hood Army base, where nearly
half the fort’s 42,000 soldiers
are deployed to the Iraq region.
Afterward, he said he expected
Syria to turn over any Iraqis
sought by the United States.
Joining him were Chief
Warrant Officer David S.
Williams, 30, of Orlando, Fla.,
and Chief Warrant Officer
Ronald D. Young Jr., 26, of
Lithia Springs, Ga., two of the
seven former POWs brought
home a week after their Iraqi
captors let them go.
In London, members of the
pro-U.S. Iraqi National
Congress said Saddam
Hussein’s son-in-law, Jamal
Mustafa Abdallah Sultan al-
Tikriti, surrendered to them in
Baghdad after he was talked
into leaving Syria by undis-

youngest daughter, Hala, and
was deputy head of the tribal
affairs office in Saddam’s oust
ed government. U.S. Central
Command had no information
on the reported surrender.
Two U.S. congressmen who
met Syrian President Bashar
Assad said he assured them he
will not give asylum to any
Iraqis wanted for war crimes.
Reps. Nick Rahall, D-
W.Va., and Darrell Issa, R-
Calif., were the first U.S. offi
cials to meet Assad since ten
sions rose over Syria’s alleged
cooperation with the Saddam
government during the war.
