Saddam captured near Tikrit fails to halt Iraqi insurgency
U S and Iraqi officials say the Saddam Hussein arrest in Adwar does not end the insurgency. A blast in Khaldiya killed at least 17 police and wounded 33 as a U S soldier died south of Baghdad disarming a roadside bomb. Lt Gen Ricardo Sanchez said attacks will continue for some time. Maj Gen Raymond Odierno noted no phones or radios were found at Saddam's hideout, suggesting no national coordination.
