  • Story Text: Iraqi's in the capital Baghdad, were coming to terms
    with the deaths of Saddam's sons, Uday and Qusay.



    Iraqi's in the capital Baghdad were celebrating the
    deaths of Saddam's sons Uday and Qusay on Thursday (July24).

    "Our people from north to south are pleased for their
    killing. They started dancing for their death and tens of
    thousands of people fired in air. And this means that the
    Iraqi people are happy. My opinion is the same of that of the
    pleased people," said Dr. Hadi Shubar, a local Iraqi.

    "What we want from the coalition forces is to show Uday
    and Qusay bodies on the TV screen. They are not better than
    the other people who were killed. All of us will be pleased if
    they are shown on television," said Amer Mohammed, a local
    fishmonger.

    Uday and Qusay had been hiding in a villa in Mosul, which
    200 U.S. soldiers, backed by helicopters, attacked with
    machine-guns and rockets on Tuesday (July 23).

    They were tracked down after a tip-off from a walk-in informant who
    will probably get the two 15-million U.S. dollar reward.
