The Sun newspaper published two more pictures of former senior Iraqi figures apparently in captivity.
It identified a figure holding a walking stick as he stoops in front of a plastic chair in one grainy image as "Chemical Ali", Ali Hassan al-Majid, the former Saddam lieutenant blamed for chemical gas attacks on Iraqi Kurds.
The Sun said another picture showed Huda Salih Mehdi Ammash, dubbed "Mrs Anthrax" by foreign newspapers as she is accused of helping Saddam try to rebuild Iraq's biological warfare capacity in the 1990s. She is shown walking in a courtyard.
"The evil brute -- and his cruel henchmen -- deserve no one's sympathy for anything," declared the newspaper's defence editor Tom Newton Dunn in an article accompanying the pictures.
