A U.S. soldier of the Fourth Infantry Division climbs out of the spider hole, in which Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) was hiding when he was captured by U.S. troops on Dec. 13, during a media visit to the farm near Tikrit, December 15, 2003. 'I'm Saddam Hussein, I'm the president of Iraq (news - web sites) and I'm willing to negotiate',' he was quoted as saying by Major Brian Reed, of the Fourth Infantry Division which captured him.

Top members of Iraq (news - web sites)'s Governing Council said Monday Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) should be tried by Iraqis but that there should be some form of international involvement in the process. Abdelaziz al-Hakim, president of the U.S.-appointed Council, cited the special tribunal set up by the Council last week as the proper court for a trial which many believe would lead to a death penalty. This Reuters graphic shows the 'spider hole' that hid Saddam Hussein before he was captured in Ad-Dawr, a small town outside of Tikrit. (Reuters Graphic)
