A journalist looks at his colleague climb out of the spider hole in which Saddam Hussein was hiding when he was captured by U.S. troops in last month near Tikrit, December 15, 2003. The hole could be filled in to prevent it becoming a 'shrine,' a U.S. military spokesman said on January 23, 2004. The U.S. 4th Infantry Division, which captured Saddam at a farm in central Iraq last month, has asked for permission to destroy the hole and the nearby mud hut which were his last refuges. 'In order to avoid making it a tourist attraction and/or a shrine, we believe the best course of action is to eliminate it,' 4th Infantry Division spokesman Master Sergeant Robert Cargie said. Cargie cautioned that no decision had been made by military commanders in Baghdad, nor by the Iraqi Governing Council.
