WASHINGTON — The United States struck a "leadership target" in Baghdad Monday, military officials said.
The target was believed to be one or more of the top government or military leaders in Saddam Hussein's regime, the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The strike was the result of "time sensitive" intelligence, meaning information which needed to be acted on quickly, the officials said.
