Easter in Iraq
 Capt. Daniel Bucur, of Georgia, chaplain for Task Force 2-69 Armor, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division from Fort Benning, Georgia, prays with soldiers during Easter services along the Tigris River in central Baghdad, April 20, 2003. U.S.-led forces in Iraq said on Sunday they had seized Saddam Hussein's science minister and a leading Iraqi opposition group said Saddam's sole surviving son-in-law had surrendered to them, bringing to seven the number of 'most wanted' Iraqis in U.S. and opposition hands.

Australia, which joined the United States and Britain in the war to overthrow Saddam Hussein, said the allies would declare victory in the next few days. But diplomatic arguments continued over Iraq's future, and Saddam's fate remained a mystery.
