Saddam Captured Alive, Iraq Official Says
BAGHDAD, Iraq (Dec. 14) - Saddam Hussein has been captured alive in his
hometown of Tikrit, a member of the U.S.-appointed Governing Council said
Sunday.
Council member Dara Noor al-Din told The Associated Press that the council was
informed of the former dictator's capture in a telephone call from L. Paul
Bremer, the U.S. administrator for Iraq.
"Bremer has confirmed to the Governing Council that Saddam was captured in
Tikrit," Noor al-Din said. "He spoke on the phone to several members, including
Ahmad Chalabi."
Chalabi is a leading member of the council who has close links to the U.S.
administration of President Bush.
Minutes earlier, Iran's official news agency, IRNA, also reported that Saddam
had been detained in Iraq. "Saddam Hussein was arrested in his hometown of
Tikrit," IRNA quoted top Iraqi leader, Jalal Talabani as saying. It gave no
further details.
Nazem Dabbagh, a representative of Talabani's Patriotic Union of Kurdestan,
confirmed Talabani's statement when reached by phone Sunday by an Associated
Press reporter in Tehran.
In Iraq, rumors that Saddam was captured or killed near Tikrit sent hundreds of
exultant people into the streets of this northern Iraqi city Sunday. They fired
in the air in celebration and congratulated each other.
A spokeswoman for the U.S.-led occupation in Baghdad notified reporters that a
"very important" announcement will be made at a news conference scheduled for 7
a.m. EST, but did not say who would be the speaker. The spokeswoman requested
anonymity.
In Tikrit, rumors that the former dictator was in custody were making the
rounds, but reporters attached to the 4th Infantry Division, the U.S. unit in
charge of security in the area, said there was no unusual activity there
overnight or early Sunday.
"We are celebrating like it's a wedding," said Mustapha Sheriff, a resident of
Kirkuk. "We are finally rid of that criminal."
"This is the joy of a lifetime," said Ali Al-Bashiri, another Kirkuk resident.
"I am speaking on behalf of all the people that suffered under his rule."
Saddam, who ruled Iraq for 23 years until his ouster in April, has been a
fugitive since then with a $25 million bounty on his head.
Rumors about Saddam's capture or death periodically surface, and a hotline set
up by the occupation authorities for tips on his whereabouts is flooded with
callers.

He was not so much captured as sold out.
Notice that reports are now coming out that:
He was enclosed in such a way that he was blocked (Entrance was walled)
and that the soldiers had to dig to get to him,
His apparence was such that he obviously had not had access to any
sanitary condition for some time,
He seemed to have been "disoriented" when captured.
Not the mark of someone 1 step ahead of hunters for so long....
Anyway, good riddance. Too bad he will be executed before any good or
incrimating gen ever comes out.

Saddam's just too valuable alive...for the information i.e. WMD's, and
potentially very embarassing information to many of the major powers. I'm
sure that Bush wants him executed ASAP.

Actually, just about everyone lied to Saddam... telling Saddam the truth was
instant death!
(No sir, we don't have the resources, either intellectually or physically to
carry-out a WMD program, nor could we hide it from inspectors even if we
did).
Any information he has, has been supplied by his own 'Yes Men'...
Just like Bush and Blair!
(Yes sir, we have the resources, both intellectually and physically to
insure you that Saddam does have a WMD program, he can't hide it from our
'intelligence sources').
