HUSSEIN CAUGHT IN MAKESHIFT HIDE-OUT; BUSH SAYS 'DARK ERA' FOR IRAQIS IS OVER
Article Abstract:
US soldiers arrested former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein after he was discovered hiding in an eight-foot hole on a farm near Tikrit. The Dept. of Defense withheld announcement of his arrest until US forces were able to confirm they definitely had the real Saddam Hussein. While Pres. Bush and coalition administrator L. Paul Bremer issued statements of satisfaction, they warned Americans and Iraqis that acts against US soldiers would continue until insurgents and Hussein supporters were brought under control.
