Family member ditched Saddam

[MrYogi]

TIKRIT: Saddam Hussein was captured based on information from a member of a family ?close to him,? Major General Raymond Odierno said on Sunday.

Odierno, the commander of the 4th Infantry Division that captured Saddam, said over the last 10 days soldiers have questioned ?five to 10 members? of families ?close to Saddam.? ?Finally we got the ultimate information from one of these individuals,? he said.

About 600 soldiers under his command conducted the raid on Saturday night in a farm near the village of Adwar, finding Saddam in a hole covered by Styrofoam and a carpet beside a two-room shack, Odierno said. When soldiers pulled the bearded man from the hole, he said, ?He was very much bewildered.?
