He was number 49 on the US list of 55 most wanted Iraqis during the 2003 invasion of Iraq. He was the 13th on the list taken into custody on or around 26 April 2003.

He was released from U.S. custody on 23 December 2005,`

He worked as officer engineer in the army and military industrialization corporation in Iraq and was considered to be one of the scientists who developed missile systems.
