"High interest" Iraqis killed in Mosul
Iraq
Published: 22-Jul-2003
By: Yahya
US officials says there is a "decent chance" that Saddam's sons have been found after US soldiers stormed a house in Mosul, in northern Iraq.
They say they have killed four key allies of Saddam Hussein. Another Iraqi was injured.
The Americans called in helicopters to subdue the resistance before storming the house. The house, a large villa, was badly damaged, and its roof caved in after it was apparently hit by a missile.
"Individuals of very high interest to the coalition forces were hiding out in the building," Lieutenant Colonel William Bishop of the 101st Airborne Division.
It follows rumours that Saddam's sons Qusay and Uday had been hiding in the city.
Our Iraqi diarist in Mosul, Yahya, witnessed an incident this morning and includes this picture he took at the scene.
US forces surround a house in Mosul
"As I was going to the internet cafe, which is about 2km from my home, I heard sound of bombing in the neighborhood, with huge number of American troops closing the area.
"A few seconds later, the choppers came, and a heavy gun shooting and bombing started. I don't know what was out there, till I went to the roof top.
"They were hitting the house of Nawwaf Al-Zaydan, the leader of the Saddam's special guards. I then left the cafe and headed toward the scene. The ruins of the house were still burning and the troops are surrounding the house.
"The troops told me that is one of the former leaders is in this house now. The bombing started at 10:30 am, and is still going on (now the clock is 2:00 pm Iraqi time). All neighbors of this house went out, afriad of being hurt.
"One of the witnesses said that at least four American soldiers were shot dead. Many injured. But we dont know the casualties on the other side."

Saddam's Sons Likely Killed in Firefight, U.S. Officials Say
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,92591,00.html MOSUL, Iraq Saddam Hussein's sons Udai and Qusai (search) were likely killed Tuesday when U.S. soldiers stormed a house in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul, U.S. military sources told Fox News.
Officials earlier confirmed that four key allies of the former Iraqi dictator had been hiding inside the house, a large villa that belonged to one of Saddam's cousins.
The house was burned to the ground after a loud, four-hour gunbattle.
Residents of the city, 280 miles north of Baghdad, said the American soldiers were searching for Saddam's sons, Qusai and Udai (search), who have been reported in the area.
"Individuals of very high interest to the coalition forces were hiding out in the building," Lt. Col. William Bishop of the 101st Airborne Division (search) told Reuters.
"This morning we went to the building and surrounded it."
Bishop said one Iraqi had been killed and five wounded in the battle.
Reuters reported that several "high-interest personalities" had been detained. The military, reporting communications problems, said it had no information on the incident.
According to the Reuters report, U.S. soldiers were fired at by people inside the house as they approached, and the Americans called in helicopters and an unmanned vehicle for assistance before storming the house.
The United States has offered a $25 million reward for information leading to Saddam's capture, and $15 million for his sons.
Fox News military analyst Col. Bill Cowan said he hoped Saddam's sons had been captured and not killed.
"I think in this case, it'd be great to have them alive," he said.
"I think for the [Iraqi] population to see these two guys shackled, incarcerated and really given some harsh treatment
will have a most profound and long-term psychological advantage."
Cowan added that Saddam's sons might provide good intelligence on their father's whereabouts.

G-d Bless You, "TheBigB",
for keeping us on an even keel in this moment.
If Baghdad Bob doesn't get a face-to-face with Horatio Sanz (as Baghdad Bob) on
"Saturday Night Live" this fall, the show will be missing a classic comedy moment.
