They've caught Saddam.
It appears that Saddam Hussein has been arrested (source: BBC. other sources).
According to other news reports, there does appear to have been a DNA match made; and although, at this point, it’s a good idea to remain skeptical, it appears that American forces have Saddam Hussein in custody.
This in-depth report on the capture by the BBC says that:
Searching the compound, troops discovered a tiny ‘spider hole’ camouflaged with bricks and dirt. At about 2030, they entered the hole and found Saddam Hussein hiding at the bottom.Posted by Thomas Scott at December 14, 2003 9:34 AMThe former Iraqi leader had secreted himself about 6-8ft underground in a chamber barely large enough to allow a person to lie down.
No shots were fired during the operation, and Saddam Hussein offered no resistance.
