SADDAM HUSSEIN CAPTURED
Former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has been captured in his home town of Tikrit, according to reports.
There has been no independent verification of the news but Sky New's Foreign Editor Tim Marshall says the source of the news is usually reliable.
The US Defence Department says it has had no confirmation of the claims, which come from Iraqi Kurd leader Jalal Talabani, says the Iran news agency IRNA.
Hundreds of exultant people have taken to the streets of Kirkuk, firing weapons into the air in celebration.
A press conference has been announced for 12pm GMT.
In Baghdad, a spokeswoman for the US-led operation notified reporters that a "very important" announcement will be made at the press conference.

I just went over to see what the Kool Aid Kids at Democraticunderground had to say about this.
The top headline on their forum says
"Thank Hillary for Saddam's Capture".
LOL!

Democrats: Capturing Saddam was the easy part, confirming his identity is the hard part. /sarcasm
If doesn't work: Confirming his identity was the easy part, interrogating him is the hard part...ad infinitum et absurdum.
