Saddam was held by Kurdish forces, drugged and left for US troops

LONDON, (AFP) - Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) was captured by US troops only after he had been taken prisoner by Kurdish forces, drugged and abandoned ready for American soldiers to recover him, a British Sunday newspaper said.

Saddam came into the hands of the Kurdish Patriotic Front after being betrayed to the group by a member of the al-Jabour tribe, whose daughter had been raped by Saddam's son Uday, leading to a blood feud, reported the Sunday Express, which quoted an unnamed senior British military intelligence officer.

The newspaper said the full story of events leading up to the ousted Iraqi president's capture on December 13 near his hometown of Tikrit in northern Iraq (news - web sites), "exposes the version peddled by American spin doctors as incomplete".

A former Iraqi intelligence officer, whom the Express did not name, told the paper that Saddam was held prisoner by a leader of the Kurdish Patriotic Front, which fought alongside US forces during the Iraq war, until he negotiated a deal.

The deal apparently involved the group gaining political advantage in the region.

An unnamed Western intelligence source in the Middle East told the Express: "Saddam was not captured as a result of any American or British intelligence. We knew that someone would eventually take their revenge, it was just a matter of time."

WHat's with the attitude? I don't give a damn how he was captured, no one should. We should care that he was and now he can't kill thousands of people anymore... It's a good thing no matter how it happened.

How is this at ALL relevant to the fact that the US found him? Whether he was being held, or was being aided, the fact is US intelligence found the slimy bastard.

Christ sakes, if thats true how the hell are we supposed to believe anything the admin tell us. I personally dont care about how they caught him, im glad that he is caught. BWTF is the point of taking all of this credit when the info is going to appear later on? Just like the Pvt Lynch fairy tale they originally let out. As for the reward, they said no one will collect it because they supposedly got the intelligence from a bunch of sources.

Your first mistake was believing anything the government said in the first place.
