Sons of Saddam shot
Saddam's sons were killed in a shoot out with the US forces in Mosul in northern Iraq.
Their death confirms what has been previously stated in this space. There was really no sanctuary in Iraq for the members of the old regime.
DEBKAfiles suggest the sons were done in by diversity in Mosul.
"...This population admixture was the cause of the downfall of Udai and Qusai Hussein.
"The Al Falah district is shared by Sunnis and Kurds. Zeidan’s villa is surrounded by Kurdish families loyal to Jalal Talabani, head of the Kurdish Patriotic Union, the PUK, and a member of the new 25-man Iraqi governing council.
"These neighbors were the first to catch sight of Saddam’s sons when they arrived at the villa.
"According to DEBKAfile’s intelligence sources, a group went running to their leader’s nearest military headquarters to bring him the news in person. Talabani, who also happens to rent one of the Saddam family’s villas in Salman Pak, went straight off to US administration offices in Baghdad, where deputy defense secretary Paul Wolfovitz is presently based for his week’s stay in Iraq. The Kurdish leader and US military chiefs conferred and decided that PUK intelligence would go ahead and secretly surround the Zeidan villa and bar it to both ingress and egress, also installing sensors and eavesdropping devices. The Kurdish agents were instructed to prepare the site for the US special forces to come in by helicopter and seize the building and Saddam’s two sons."
"...Saddam himself still eludes capture along with his cached weapons of mass destruction. According to DEBKAfile’s intelligence sources, President George W. Bush and British prime minister Tony Blair are in the process of assembling a mass of material evidence of this arsenal to be released soon. "
The Arab News has a different take on how the sons were discovered.
"...The owner of the house in the city of Mosul, Nawaf Al-Zaidan, 'is believed to have informed US forces that Saddam’s sons Uday and Qusay, Qusay’s son, and a bodyguard named Abdul Samad took refuge in his house and he wanted to get rid of them,' said a female relative of Zaidan who asked not to be named."
