SADDAM HUSSEIN CAPTURED

Former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has been captured in his home town of Tikrit, according to reports.

There has been no independent verification of the news but Sky New's Foreign Editor Tim Marshall says the source of the news is usually reliable.

The US Defence Department says it has had no confirmation of the claims, which come from Iraqi Kurd leader Jalal Talabani, says the Iran news agency IRNA.

Hundreds of exultant people have taken to the streets of Kirkuk, firing weapons into the air in celebration.

A press conference has been announced for 12pm GMT.

In Baghdad, a spokeswoman for the US-led operation notified reporters that a "very important" announcement will be made at the press conference.

Thanks. I don't recall that one. Maybe we knew it by a different name. (Of course, I never got as far as Alchemy 101. I managed to flunk out before that one.)

Katie: Hundreds of innocent Iraqi children were indirectly killed and injured by George Bush's actions, when people fired guns in the air to celebrate something or other late Saturday night. Some say this is a reason guns should be banned in America.

You're killing me! What a day, eh Laz?

Great day for the Iraqi people and the Coalition:



Operation Red Dawn.

[Capitalism2003]

My God...look at this...DU reaction.
If anything proves that they HATE America and Bush above all else, this is it. They think the press cheering Saddam's capture shows a lack of 'objectivity'

The 4ID got him, that's the best news we could have right now.

[MEG33]

A great day..We got him!

[ChemistCat]

He's so right. They have spiked shoes, never bathe, and have dragged a huge boombox up there with them, and they're playing all the music you hate at full volume and not even hammering in time with it.

I have loved every other chemistry course I've ever taken, but this one has been pure misery despite an instructor who is very nice.

OMG, they found Saddam in a basement digging a hole trying to bury himself... --- the hole he was digging and in was out in the yard beside the building
