'Ladies and gentlemen, we got him.' -- US confirms Saddam captured alive
The US administrator in Iraq, Paul Bremer said Saddam Hussein, 66, was seized during a pre-dawn raid near his hometown of Tikrit, north of the capital Baghdad. 'Ladies and gentlemen, we got him,' Mr Bremer told a press conference in Baghdad.
US forces commander in Iraq, Lieutenant-General Ricardo Sanchez, said Saddam put up no resistance when he was found hiding in a two-metre deep hole, and was co-operating with his captors.
As the video was played the press room erupted with cheers and catcalls at the fallen dictator.
Lust for power matched only by ruthless streak.
[Now, does the name Osama ring andy bells?]
