Saddam survived attack on building say British intelligence sources
The American pilot of a B-1 bomber circling nearby was told the Iraqi president had entered the building. Twelve minutes later, the pilot dropped four 2,000lb joint direct attack munition bombs on it.
Now come on guys. . . does it really take four JDAMs to take out one little dictator?
UPDATE: Central Intelligence says he’s dead. As in very dead.
One official said some analysts believe the multiple eyewitness accounts suggest the Iraqi dictator is dead. The penetrating bombs reduced the building near the popular al Saa restaurant to rubble.
The official described the CIA yesterday as being “in a state of euphoria.”
“They say there is no doubt he is dead,” said a U.S. military official on the condition of anonymity.
