Saddam, sons believed killed

Senior US government sources said last night they believe Saddam Hussien and his two sons Odai Saddam and Qusay Saddam Hussein are dead after a house in an upscale residential district of Baghdad was bombed last night.

According to reports, intelligence sources found out that Saddam was holding a meeting with his sons and top officials in the house. US planes dropped four 2,000-pound bombs known as “bunker busters” which left a huge hole in the residential compound and if Saddam and his Group who were seen going into the compound were there they would have died. The compound was said to be between two of Saddam’s palaces. The bombs were powerful enough to penetrate the bunker. The location was under heavy surveillance. However the deaths were not confirmed even though Saddam and his group were seen going into the house. But it will take some time to go through the rubble to positively confirm the reports.
