US officials confirmed they had destroyed the Tikrit home of Izzat Ibrahim, Saddam's top lieutenant, who is accused of being directly behind some attacks on US troops. It was not clear if Ibrahim or anyone else was in the building when it was demolished by satellite-guided missiles.
A spokesman for the US-led administration in Iraq announced a $10 million bounty for information leading to the capture or killing of Ibrahim. "This week we will be launching a public information campaign across Iraq to promote the $10 million reward for information leading to his capture or killing," spokesman Dan Senor said.
