U.S. officials are reasonably confident that two of the four Iraqis killed in a raid in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul were Saddam Hussein's two sons, Odai and Qusai Hussein, ABCNEWS has learned.
Hours after a massive raid on a villa in Mosul, U.S. intelligence sources said they believed Saddam's two sons were inside the building. "We think we killed both of these guys," a senior intelligence official told ABCNEWS.
While there was no official confirmation that Odai and Qusai Hussein were among the dead, ABCNEWS has learned that a senior former Iraqi official in U.S. custody had identified the bodies.
A senior military official told ABCNEWS that Abid Hamid Mahmud al-Tikriti, Saddam's most trusted adviser and the ace of diamonds in the U.S. deck of cards depicting the most-wanted Iraqis, had identified the bodies.
