Uday and Qusay Hussein Killed in Mosul

CENTCOM is reporting that Uday and Qusay Hussein are dead, dead, dead:

Uday Hussein whipped and clubbed Alaa Hamed. But the TV producer was still sorry to hear Saddam Hussein’s vicious elder son might have been killed.

”I don’t want him dead. I want to torture him first,” Hamed told Reuters as he recalled the beatings with cables and clubs whenever he made technical errors at Uday’s television station.

What seemed to be the crackle of celebratory rifle fire rattled Baghdad neighbourhoods, where families had watched state television footage of Saddam and his sons for years, silently hating and hoping they might one day be gone.

”This is very good. Uday, Qusay and Saddam are the ones who ruined this country. We are in a mess today after the war because of them,” shopkeeper Abu Muhammed said.
