Former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has possibly been captured in a raid near Tikrit, U.S. officials say.

However the officials told CNN that the identity of the individual, one of a number of suspected insurgents caught, was still being confirmed.

The news is from the Iraqi so far.

Army People will make an announcement in about 30 to 40 minutes...

I can't help laughing, several months looking for a guy using the most advanced technology and techniques available, and the guys hiding behind a $0.99 fake beard. I love it.

Well, it is official now.

It's Saddam Hussein

Where the fuck is Osama?

Siddar · 12-14-2003, 02:43 AM

Osama is most likely hiding in Iran.

Well I've been logging into cnn for the last few months waiting for that headline, i knew it was gonna happen one of these days. I kinda wish he was caught dead though. Now we are gonna see all kinda shit happen when his followers try to take hostages to demand his release.

Former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein was captured in a Tikrit cellar, U.S. civil administrator Paul Bremer says. "The tyrant is a prisoner," he said.

Capture

A U.S. official told the Associated Press that the captured man did not look like Saddam.

Trapped in a cellar, Saddam dug a hole and buried himself as U.S. soldiers moved into the house where he was hiding, an Iraqi official said Sunday.

"The American soldiers had to use shovels to dig him out," Entifadh Qanbar, spokesman for Governing Council member Ahmad Chalabi, told The Associated Press.

Qanbar, basing his account on reports from members of the U.S.-led occupation authority, said Saddam had a salt-and-pepper beard when he was captured. Soldiers photographed him, shaved the beard and photographed him again before running DNA tests, he said.

"The DNA test confirmed 100 percent Saddam Hussein's identity," he said.

lol im glad they caught him alive, will make for some entertaining news and maybe he knows something about the imaginary WMD

Usha Starchild · 12-14-2003, 03:42 AM

Perhaps some entertaining news about WMD but I'm affraid his loyal followers are gonna resort to kidinapping people all over the world demanding Saddams release. If he was found dead then his folowers would prolly take a huge moral hit and just give up.

The name of this operation is called RED DAWN. Funniest thing I have heard during the entire news conference!

PigBenis · 12-14-2003, 04:12 AM

man now wtf do they do with him? Charge him for crimes against humanity? Put him in prison? I don't think they can kill him. Keeping him alive will be a mistake.

Evan Nash · 12-14-2003, 04:34 AM

Umm. Iraqi's will NOT let Saddam be sentenced to "life in prison". He's gonna be fucking executed.

And eye for a million eyes.
