U.S. military forces attacked a villa in northern Iraq yesterday and killed Saddam Hussein's two sons, both former regime leaders, in a fierce gunbattle.

"We're certain that Uday and Qusai were killed today," Army Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, the commander of coalition forces in Iraq, told reporters in Baghdad. "We've used multiple sources to identify the individuals."

Saddam's sons dead

"HAA haaa."

[Mr_Slippery]

from the Las Vegas Sun [AP]:
"The defense official said that when U.S. troops entered the home's ground floor, they almost immediately came under fire from four people holed up in the second floor.
The home's second floor had been hardened against attack with bulletproof glass, the official said.
The U.S. soldiers then called in an Apache attack helicopter, which fired several missiles into the building, the official said.

I guess Udai and Qusai hadn't heard of "Apache-hardened glass" !!
Goodnight..., 4 less ravagers of humanity in the world.
