The Bush administration approved a $30 million payment Thursday to the informant who led U.S. troops to Saddam Hussein’s two sons. Secretary of State Colin Powell decided that the informant whose tip led to the deaths of Odai and Qusai Hussein in a firefight July 22 in a villa in Mosul in northern Iraq should get both of the $15 million rewards that had been put on the men’s heads. ``It’s actually for services rendered,’’ State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said in Washington. ``It’s a lump sum payment of $30 million.’’ For his protection, the informant has not been identified, although people in Mosul have speculated it was the owner the house being used as a hideout.
