It seems the US has more success on shooting down UK figher planes, than take out it’s prime targets?
UK Intelligence Suggests Saddam Survived 1st Raid
British intelligence reports suggest President Saddam Hussein emerged alive from the initial U.S. raid of the Iraq war but left the area in an ambulance, junior Foreign Office Minister Mike O’Brien said on Sunday. “We’ve received information that Saddam Hussein left the area in an ambulance. There was some talk that he had been injured, even some suggestion that he had been killed. It seems that is unlikely, that if he was injured it doesn’t appear it was a serious injury,” O’Brien told BBC radio. He said the information came from “at least one eye witness” to Thursday’s strike, which came under cover of darkness. “It appears he subsequently appeared on Iraqi TV but again there are question marks over some of those TV appearances,” said O’Brien. “In essence, we don’t know for sure (his fate).”
