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.

My God...look at this...DU reaction.

Is it true that they're playing the theme from M.A.S.H. (Suicide is Painless) on their website?

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'

But when a journalist offers to give a President oral sex in return for supporting the murder of babies, that's journalism at its finest for the RATs.
