Uday and Qusay killed in Mosul Shoot-out

The US military have confirmed this evening that the two sons of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, Uday and Qusay, have been killed in a gun-battle lasting four hours in Mosul today. It seems that an Iraqi tipped off the US military of the whereabouts of the two and a force in the hundreds was despatched to confront them.

Excellent news! Now it remains to catch (or kill) their odious father.
