Death of Saddam's Sons Boosts U.S. Forces

MOSUL, Iraq (AP) -
Saddam Hussein's sons Odai and Qusai died in a blaze of gunfire and rockets Tuesday when U.S. forces, acting on a tip from an Iraqi informant, stormed a palatial villa in northern Iraq. The U.S. military claimed their deaths will blunt Iraqi resistance to the American occupation.
The six-hour raid was the most successful American operation since the war and comes as a much-needed tonic for U.S. troops, who recently have suffered a dozen attacks a day by Saddam loyalists and other anti-American groups.
News of the sons' deaths touched off celebratory gunfire in Baghdad and at least one southern city. But L. Paul Bremer, Iraq's top civilian administrator, cautioned "there will be some people who will be pretty unhappy that we killed these two guys."
Four coalition soldiers were wounded and two other Iraqis were killed in the raid, but Saddam was not among them. The house belonged to Nawaf al-Zaydan Muhhamad, a Saddam cousin and tribal leader in the region.
"We are certain that Odai and Qusai were killed today," Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez told reporters in Baghdad. "The bodies were in such a condition where you could identify them."
The identifying marks included Odai's scars from a 1996 assassination attempt, a senior defense official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The soldiers removed four bodies and did not let photographers take pictures. The other two bodies were tentatively identified as that of a bodyguard and a teenager, U.S. officials said, adding that the teen may have been a son of Qusai and grandson of Saddam.
The daily attacks on U.S. occupation troops are thought to be the work of former military officers and Baath Party leaders loyal to Saddam and his family - especially the sons, who played primary roles in the military and feared security services.
"Outstanding," said 1st Lt. Greg Wilson, 33, with the Florida Army National Guard in Baghdad. He clapped his hands and said: "One step closer to getting home."
Both Odai (pronounced oh-DEYE), 39, and Qusai (pronounced koh-SEYE), 37, ranked second only to their father in the deposed regime. They were Nos. 2 and 3 on the U.S. list of 55 top former Iraqi officials wanted by Washington. The United States had offered a $25 million reward for information leading to Saddam's capture and $15 million each for his sons.
The White House applauded the action.
"Over the period of many years, these two individuals were responsible for countless atrocities committed against the Iraqi people and they can no longer cast a shadow of hate on Iraq," it said in a statement.
Secretary of State Colin Powell said, "The Iraqi people are safer today. We will pursue the other members of his murderous regime wherever they might be hiding."
British Prime Minister Tony Blair, speaking during a trip to Hong Kong, hailed the deaths of the two "evil" sons of Saddam, saying that they help lead a regime "responsible for the torture and killing of thousands and thousands of innocent Iraqis."
Sanchez said he thought the security situation now would improve.
"I believe very firmly this will have an effect. This will prove to the Iraqi people that these two members of the Iraqi regime will never come to power again," the general said.
Ahmad Chalabi, a delegate from Iraq's new Governing Council, agreed. "This will contribute significantly to reducing attacks on coalition soldiers," he said, speaking at the United Nations.
After the firefight in Mosul, about 1,000 people gathered outside the smoldering villa, some expressing delight, others cursing the Americans.
"How can they do this?" shouted a man in the crowd, apparently
