Gulf War II: Iraq 2003
Saddam is dead again On 7 April after receiving 'credible information'
that Saddam Hussein and
his sons were having a meeting at a restaurant in an upmarket Mansour,
coalition forces dropped four 900 kg bombs in an aerial assassination
attempt. The Iraqi authorities claimed that at least nine people died
and four buildings were destroyed. There has been no confirmation of whether
Saddam Hussein is dead
or alive. What was certain was that Saddam
no
longer had
any control in the major Iraqi cities. This was reflected in the widespread
looting occurring in Basra and Baghdad. It will be a priority for the
coalition troops to restore civil order as soon as possible.

Iraq is ours. The bad news is…Iraq is ours'(1)
