"We think we have stepped on Saddam’s tail"
2003-10-13
Fox News. EFL
Saddam Hussein has been in his hometown of Tikrit recently and is believed to be exerting influence within the resistance that has been killing American soldiers at a rate of nearly one every two days, a U.S. officer said Monday. "We have clear indication he has been here recently," Maj. Troy Smith, executive officer of the 1st Brigade, 4th Infantry Division, told reporters. But military officials at the Pentagon said Smith’s comment should be taken with "a grain of salt." Officials told Fox News that Saddam’s location remains unknown. "We think we have stepped on Saddam’s tail but we just won’t know for sure until we have him," one official said.
Wonder if that Fedayeen bigwig we caught last week has turned state’s evidence.

#1  Odds are that they're trying flush him out with this rumor. Otherwies, the Major ought to be relieved.
