I guess I got my birthday wish:
“We’re certain that Odai and Qusai were killed today,” Sanchez said. “The bodies are in a condition where you could identify them.”U.S. officials told NBC News separately on condition of anonymity that senior Iraqi figures in U.S. custody had positively identified the brothers after their bodies were taken to Baghdad. Old bullet wounds further cemented the identification of Odai Hussein, who was shot 17 times and badly wounded in an assassination attempt in 1996.
Too bad they didn't get Papa as well...
And, not bad for a day's work:
The United States had offered a $25 million bounty for Saddam and $15 million for each of his sons. Sanchez said that the raid Tuesday morning was based on “a walk-in tip” from an Iraqi source and that the U.S. government expected to pay the reward.
