Hussein's sons have been killed.
Updated.
US forces raided a home in northern Iraq today, killing its four occupants in a firefight. US officials announced that Saddam Hussein's two sons, Uday and Qusay, are among the dead. The raid was prompted by intelligence that Uday and Qusay were hiding in the house.
I have to wonder why the military decided to kill the occupants instead of capturing them. After all, high ranking officials would be able to identify the sites of hidden WMDs. If these men are indeed Hussein's sons, it's likely they knew about these sites.
There are two possibilities: 1) The soldiers wanted revenge for the attacks and casualties that have occurred over the past two months. 2) There are no weapons to be found, and capturing two of the men who would know where the weapons are would increase pressure to find the MIA WMDs.
