BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The U.S. military said on Tuesday it had confirmed that the two sons of Saddam Hussein (news - web sites), Qusay and Uday, had been killed in a fierce gun-battle in northern Iraq (news - web sites).

"We're certain that Uday and Qusay were killed," Lieutenant General Ricardo Sanchez told a news conference in Baghdad. "We've used multiple sources to identify the individuals."

Sanchez said the U.S. military had been given a "walk-in" tip that Qusay and Uday were in the villa in Mosul that was raided by U.S. forces earlier Tuesday.

He said it was a six-hour operation that involved various military units including special forces.

"We had a walk-in last night that came in and gave us the information," Sanchez said, adding that they expected to pay the $15 million reward offered for information leading to the death or capture of each of Saddam's sons.

The U.S. military was still working to identify two other bodies recovered from the villa after the battle, he said.

Four coalition soldiers were wounded in the operation and were being treated, he said.

Somebody made $15 million...

cosis · 07-22-2003, 01:14 PM

15 million per head = 30 million

And worth every cent if it is true.

Maybe I'm going senile, but haven't I seen this in one of the 20 other threads?

LoL. I did a quick search for "sons" to see if it had been posted before, but the word "sons" isn't in any of the other confirmation threads.

It happens.

Man imagine if the guy actually gets that check...there are going to be some greedy little Iraqis running around turning anyone and everyone in trying to get their own check.

If I were in charge there, as soon as it was confirmed I would have the biggest ceremony, give that guy the check, a new car, a new house and a visa to the states if he wishes.

After that day...none of those wanted by the US authorities will be safe.
