FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
STATEMENT REGARDING OPERATION IN MOSUL, IRAQ
Statement from US Central Command:
On Tuesday, July 22, forces associated with the 101st Airborne Division and Special Operations Forces conducted an operation against suspected regime figures at a residence in Mosul, Iraq. The site is currently being exploited. Four Iraqis were killed in the operation. We have confirmed that two of the dead were Saddam’s sons Uday and Qusay.
I hear Saddam's 14-year old grandson was also killed, which is really too bad, and no sarcasm. A hunted dead-or-alive fugitive should not be hauling his kids around with him.
There was also a substantial reward involved, which should be interesting.
