Washington AP reports initial questioning of Saddam Hussein centers on ties to the guerrilla insurgency and intelligence on pending attacks and resistance leaders locations. U.S. officials said Sunday.
U S and Iraqi officials assess Saddam Hussein after capture, noting he may reveal knowledge on Iraqi weapons programs and the insurgency. Lt General Sanchez calls him talkative and cooperative while other officials warn he may provide little immediate intelligence. The race to learn Izzat Ibrahim al Douri's role and location continues as time pressures grow.
Officials said there was little initial evidence Saddam had operational control over the resistance. They announced finding no communications equipment maps or other evidence of a guerrilla command center at Saddam's hiding place, and intelligence officials have said Saddam focused on survival and staying hidden.
Officials say Saddam Hussein may help answer lingering questions about the rationale for the Iraq war. The search for weapons of mass destruction and links to terrorists has yielded little that confirms the Bush administration’s stated rationale.
U S forces disclosed Saddam Hussein, 66, was found in a crude concrete cellar after eight months of fugitive status. Iraqi reactions showed a mix of awe and relief as the once omnipotent dictator appeared cooperative with his captors. The Baghdad seizure shifted global views on his power and the myth of weapons of mass destruction.
