TEHRAN, Iran — Saddam Hussein (search), the former Iraqi dictator and most-wanted figure by the U.S.-led coalition, has been captured in Iraq, U.S. officials believe.


Multiple high-level sources told Fox News they are certain that coalition troops captured the former Iraqi leader in a raid designed to net him in his hometown of Tikrit. The sources said they were working to confirm that Saddam had indeed been detained.

Iraqi Governing Council (search) member Dara Noor al-Din told The Associated Press that the council was informed of the former dictator's capture in a telephone call from L. Paul Bremer (search), the U.S. administrator for Iraq.

"Bremer has confirmed to the Governing Council that Saddam was captured in Tikrit," Noor al-Din said. "He spoke on the phone to several members, including Ahmad Chalabi."

Chalabi is a leading member of the council who has close links to the U.S. administration of President Bush.

Minutes earlier, Iran's official news agency, IRNA, also reported that Saddam had been detained in Iraq. "Saddam Hussein was arrested in his hometown of Tikrit," IRNA quoted top Iraqi leader, Jalal Talabani as saying. It gave no further details.

Nazem Dabbagh, a representative of Talabani's Patriotic Union of Kurdestan, confirmed Talabani's statement when reached by phone Sunday by an Associated Press reporter in Tehran.

In Iraq, rumors that Saddam was captured or killed near Tikrit sent hundreds of exultant people into the streets of this northern Iraqi city Sunday. They fired in the air in celebration and congratulated each other.

A spokeswoman for the U.S.-led occupation in Baghdad notified reporters that a "very important" announcement will be made at a news conference scheduled for 7 a.m. EST, but did not say who would be the speaker. The spokeswoman requested anonymity.

In Tikrit, rumors that the former dictator was in custody were making the rounds, but reporters attached to the 4th Infantry Division, the U.S. unit in charge of security in the area, said there was no unusual activity there overnight or early Sunday.

"We are celebrating like it's a wedding," said Mustapha Sheriff, a resident of Kirkuk. "We are finally rid of that criminal."

"This is the joy of a lifetime," said Ali Al-Bashiri, another Kirkuk resident. "I am speaking on behalf of all the people that suffered under his rule."

Saddam, who ruled Iraq for 23 years until his ouster in April, has been a fugitive since then with a $25 million bounty on his head.

Rumors about Saddam's capture or death periodically surface, and a hotline set up by the occupation authorities for tips on his whereabouts is flooded with callers.

Saddam Before shaved

lol n1 rock:

They just had a special news thingy on teh telly here..
So i guess its 'over' then.. rolleyes:

Shows how retarded he is. In the first place what the hell was he doing in Iraq? If I was him I would have left the place like Pakistan or S.America. Secondly I would have shaved that beard and hair.

Oh yeah does anyone have any video footage?

It awesome that they have captured him, but what do they do with him now?

I reckon execute the bastard. Don't let him stand trial. Milosovich (or however you spell it, you the Bosnian war criminal) is still sitting through trial after something like 2 years. Just throw Saddam to an Iraqi mob.

I hear they're going to let the Iraqis try him (in Iraq). Of course the US of A will pick the Iraqis to try him (which is fine with me devious smirk ).
On a separate note Osama is probably dead. I mean if we caught Saddam in 8 months I think we would've captured Osama in two years. beer: biggrin:

annoy:

I was afraid of this...this will increase bush's chances for re-election hake:

Let him loose in a crowd of people whos fathers, brothers, etc. the Fedayeen tortured or killed.

I don't think any of this is over yet, there will still be resistance, and foreign mercs and troublemakers will still be jumping the border to kill US troops.

Don't think the dems ever really had a chance

he is going to stand a public trial

Good job guys, this doesn't mean the end but it's a great step forward rock:

He already won anyways...

Well I dont really care, I am voting democrat anyways! last thing we need is this monkey back in office. Having saddam captured is great and all but we have to put that behind us and focus on containing the remaining resistance forces in Iraq. Once the attacks start falling off, less troops will lbe needed and we can form the Iraqi military and police fforces.

osama will suddenly be found just weeks before the election annoy:

aren't you a canadian anyways? so why do you care??

I swear I've seen multiple posts by you bitching about how we haven't found Saddam/Osama yet and when we finally do find one of them you say "we have to put this behind us" like it's something not important.

Kind of proves how biased you are. Go bitch and complain somewhere else.

lol, i want to see all the canadians talk their shit now "america and their stupid war, what do you have to show for it? no osama no saddam. oh wait, well, no osama! "

Do they draft at 16? Since when the fuck is our job in Iraq to fend off the troops. Our goal was to go in there help the Iraqis and capture sadam, now wasnt it? THats 2/2 the only thing the attacks on American troops were was a needle in our ass our goal wasnt to subdue all remaining regime troops oOo:

i think the goal was WMD, wasnt it?
