Commander Says Saddam Likely in Tikrit
Deposed Iraqi President Saddam Hussein probably is in hiding in or around his hometown of Tikrit, the commander of American troops there said Friday. Maj. Gen. Ray Odierno said troops from the 4th Infantry Division had captured several of Saddam's former bodyguards in the past month. "If he makes a mistake, we'll have him," Odierno said. Odierno has recently said that it's believed Saddam has been moving and changing hiding places three or four times a day - a tactic he has perfected over the years to avoid would-be assassins.
