From CNN:
Ousted Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein’s sons, Qusay and Uday, were killed Tuesday in a gunbattle with U.S. troops in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul, the commander of U.S. ground forces in Iraq said.
Their bodies were identified from “multiple sources,” Army Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez told reporters in Baghdad.
“They died in a fierce gunbattle,” Sanchez said. “They resisted detention and the effort of coalition forces to apprehend them.”
