Saddam's
Sons Believed Dead in Raid
(AP) - A firefight erupted when U.S.
forces surrounded the home of a cousin of Saddam Hussein in the northern city of
Mosul on Tuesday, killing four people. A senior U.S. official in Iraq said
Saddam's sons Odai and Qusai were believed to be among the dead. But the
official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said investigators were "awaiting
positive DNA testing" to confirm the identities. An official with the U.S.
civilian administration running Iraq said "something big has just happened" but
would provide no further information.
Odai and Qusai Hussein, son's of Saddam Hussein are believed to be dead. Sources say it is 95% certain that they are dead.
