http://www.upi.com/view.cfm?StoryID=20030403-101300-9688r

Snippets from the article:

Strikes by F-17s fighters and ship-launched cruise missiles wounded Saddam and is also believed to have killed his son Qusay, 37, who was being groomed as Saddam's successor, according to half a dozen former and serving U.S. officials.

A senior administration official told UPI that Saddam had suffered two burst ear drums, and "was bleeding from the nose and mouth." This source added that Saddam was so disoriented by concussion damage that he was "in a vegetative state" for hours after the strike.

Another administration official said that Saddam was "definitely alive" after the strike and appeared on Friday, March 21, wearing glasses because of concussive damage to the "capillaries of his retinas."
