Thu July 3, 2003 10:15 AM ET BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The United States is offering $25 million for any information that leads to the capture of ousted Iraqi president Saddam Hussein or proves that he is dead, a spokesman for Iraq's U.S.-led administration said on Thursday. "(Administration head) Ambassador (Paul) Bremer will be announcing a new $25 million reward for information leading to the capture of Saddam Hussein or information confirming his earlier death," the spokesman told reporters. He said $15 million was being offered for similar information about either of Saddam's two sons, Uday and Qusay.

A SENIOR aide to Saddam Hussein has described the dramatic moment when the dictator warned his sons they must accept defeat and go their separate ways. “It’s over. It’s over,” he is said to have told Uday and Qusay Hussein as they drove through the streets of Baghdad on April 11, two days after the city was captured by American forces. According to the aide, Saddam’s younger son, Qusay, sobbed and pleaded to be allowed to go into hiding with his father. But Saddam replied: “Splitting up gives us a better chance of survival.” The graphic description came last week...

The senior lieutenant to Saddam Hussein who was detained in Iraq last week obtained passports from Belarus for himself and others, possibly including Saddam's sons, two U.S. government officials said yesterday. The lieutenant, Abid Hamid Mahmud al-Tikriti, is suspected by U.S. officials of having obtained the passports in Syria, where, he told U.S. interrogators, he spent time, after the war, with Saddam's sons, Oday and Qusay, before being expelled by Syrian authorities.

My newest favorite e-mail has nothing to with refinancing a home mortgage or enlarging any portion of myself. Uday Hussein It's a personal plea from Saddam Hussein's son, Uday, marked "URGENT." Less than three weeks after the Wall Street Journal reported that Uday was in surrender talks to U.S. forces in Iraq, it seems the son of a dictator is looking to make himself and someone else very wealthy. Uday's letter (let's play along for the sake of fun and just assume the message is really from Uday) came to WorldNetDaily's inbox following the general format of the well-known Nigerian...

The Nazis, againMona Charen (archive) June 10, 2003 | Print | SendThe whole world is focused on what we've failed to find in Iraq -- to the point of neglecting what we have found. In doing so, the press is missing the significance of what the United States and Britain have achieved. The banned weapons will eventually be accounted for. Of that there can be no doubt. But the more important story is that the coalition overthrew a regime that can fairly be compared with Nazi Germany. Such a deed would be applauded by the world -- if we lived...

Uday’s Home Movies Saddam Hussein’s son left behind an extensive video collection in his palaces—many of the films featuring himself By Colin Soloway NEWSWEEK WEB EXCLUSIVE June 2 — There was the private zoo. The wild parties. The torturing of Iraqi soccer players. Now, U.S. troops have discovered, Saddam Hussein’s notorious son Uday had another predilection: watching videos—often of himself. WHEN AMERICAN SOLDIERS moved into the remains of Uday’s bombed-out palace last month, they found thousands of videotapes among the rubble.

DUBLIN (Reuters) - Saddam Hussein's elder son Uday was in hiding in Baghdad 11 days ago and had considered giving himself up to U.S. forces, a former body double said on Tuesday. Latif Yahia said he obtained his information in a satellite telephone call with a mutual friend in Baghdad 10 days ago. The friend said that Uday and two bodyguards had stayed at his house in Baghdad for the two prior nights. Yahia, who is in Ireland awaiting a visa to rejoin his family in England, told Reuters he did not know where Uday was now. "He wants to...

Exclusive: Banking on civil strife to restore their regime in Baghdad.Supposedly Saddams family has a 6 home estate built in Tripoli quite recently.

Last month the Associated Press carried a story on a most unusual edifice. Found in it were "reams of pornography off the Internet, boxes of sexual fortifiers, rooms of fine wines and liquors and Cuban cigars . . ." No, this was not, as you may have conjectured, an exhibit in the keenly awaited William J. Clinton Presidential Library and Massage Parlor. Rather, it was a house owned by Mr. Uday Hussein, Saddam’s oldest son. The AP coverage spelled his first name "Odai," but we Westerners have trouble with some of those names. You say Osama, I say Usama. Rumors...

In a chilling hour, we go inside the sadistic world inhabited by Saddam Hussein's sons and hear firsthand accounts of how each man inherited a different, deadly side of his father. Uday, the megalomaniac whose only official job was head of the Iraq Olympic Committee, had athletes who performed poorly tortured. Qusay, the quiet schemer, rose to second in command behind his father by being slavishly loyal and completely brutal in overseeing the murder of opponents to the regime.
