Hoping to Capture Saddam Alive

by Bryan Strawser · Aug 3, 2003

TIKRIT, Iraq, Aug. 3 %u2014  U.S. soldiers hunting for Saddam Hussein in the restive territory around his home town said on Sunday they hoped to capture him alive, as another guerrilla attack gravely wounded an Iraqi in Baghdad.

[…]

Soldiers of the 4th Infantry’s 1st Brigade, which has led several raids, said that if Saddam was found they would aim to capture him alive so that he could be questioned.

“Clearly we’ll be going in to take him alive to extract the maximum intelligence,” Lieutenant Jason Price of the 1st Battalion, 22nd Infantry Regiment, told Reuters in Tikrit. [MSNBC]
