Iraqi News Says Saddam Captured by U.S.
The Iraqi newspaper Sada Al Watan says a unit of the U.S. Fourth Infantry Division captured Saddam Hussein, his son Qusay and his secretary Abid Hamid Mahmoud Tikriti in a farmhouse in Tikrit earlier this week, but U.S. Central Command only admits capturing the secretary. The newspaper says they were flown to an unknown destination for interrogation.
The Al Ra Al Aam newspaper in Kuwait quoted a U.S. official as saying that the U.S. wouldn’t have been able to keep Saddam’s capture a secret. Iraqi opposition sources say Saddam’s older son Uday has contacted the U.S. regarding terms of his surrender.
