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.

CNN reporter states that some Iraqi people said that Saddam went like a woman.

CNN reporter states that some Iraqi people said that Saddam went like a woman. The best possible capture scenario.

BTW, what's up with this "spider hole" thing? Apparently that's the term that was used for the holes that VC combatants used to hide in during the Vietnam war. It also seems to be a term used by cave explorers...

I woke up to this fabulous news at about 4:30am Pacific time. Waited until after that very emotional news conference from Iraq before jumping onto FR to post my congratulations to our super troops of the 4th ID, to Amb. Bremer and General Sanchez, to the Iraqi people — and most of all, to our great President George W. Bush. God bless them all, and may Saddam rot in hell after we're done with him.

Hope this doesn't turn out to be one of the decoys. I'd say the chances of that are somewhere between slim and none. Too much use of the word 'confirmed' for there to be any doubt.
