U S forces stormed a northern Mosul villa after a tip from an Iraqi informant killing Saddam Hussein's sons Odai and Qusai. The six hour operation wounded four coalition soldiers and two Iraqis, with Saddam not present. Nascent cheers followed in Baghdad and southern cities despite caution from L Pat Bremer.

Analysts say the corpses could bolster acceptance of regime collapse, though proof remains crucial for Iraqis. IMPACT, Page 11A.
