Uday was negotiating surrender: newsman
By Paul Michaud
PARIS, July 23: A journalist preparing a story on Saddam Hussein and his two sons Uday and Qusay for the French national news weekly magazine Le Point says that Uday was in the process of negotiating his surrender to the US occupation authority when he was killed on Tuesday.
According to Jean Guisnel, who is considered an authority on the Saddam family and Iraq and who was speaking to a reporter for French public TV channel France 3 on Wednesday, "Uday was in the process of negotiating his surrender because he had let it be known that he would prefer being handed over alive to US forces than being discovered by Iraqi nationals whom he feared might lynch him instead of turning him over to US authorities."
Although Mr Guisnel would not divulge the source of his information, he has often based his stories on Iraq on French intelligence sources.

Aha, dit is interessant. Ik vond het al zo vreemd dat net wanneer Bremer naar de States gaat om verslag uit te brengen aan het congres, en Wolfowitz naar Iraq gaat, opeens Uday en Qusay uit een hoge hoed worden getoverd. Ik vermoed dat het hier om een orchestreerde media evenement door Wolfowitz gaat, dit past namelijk perfect in hun straatje van mediaoorlogsvoering. Ze waren waarschijnlijk op de hoogte van de lokatie van Uday en hebben de aanval in scene gezet. Hierbij bedoel ik dus niet dat ze niet echt dood zijn, maar meer dat ze speelbal zijn geworden in het Politieke domein.

Mosul, July 24: (Indian Express) Nawaf Zaidan Nasiri answered the front door of his elegant mansion 24 days ago, and greeted a nightmare. Standing there, he told his neighbours on Tuesday, were the two sons of Saddam Hussein, Qusay and Udai, asking Zaidan to repay years of privilege and favours they had doled out to him.
‘‘They asked to stay in my house and I could not refuse them. This is a disaster for me,’’ Zaidan told his neighbour, Mukhlis Thahir Jubori.
In an interview on Wednedsay, Thahir said Zaidan told his story on Tuesday while sitting in a US military Humvee, about two hours after the bodies of the Hussein brothers were removed from the remains of Zaidan’s house.
The deaths caused soldiers to break out cigars, but the episode posed a difficult dilemma for a 46-year-old man, who had made a career out of hanging around the Husseins. ‘‘Nawaf was always bragging that he was a good friend of Saddam’s family,’’ said Thahir. He and a Muslim cleric added Zaidan was known as a businessman who specialised in import-export work, but mainly his business was loyalty to Hussein’s family, whose officials kept him supplied with government contracts and goodies in return.
Thahir said he recalled being at Zaidan’s house about two months ago when members of Hussein’s extended family arrived. He said there was talk about them giving 200 million dinars, about $140,000, to Zaidan to oversee construction of a new mosque. The money was more likely payment for some service Zaidan had provided — perhaps for a safe house in the future.
Zaidan’s neighbours are surprised, but not shocked, to hear that the Hussein brothers were found in his house. Lately, they said, Zaidan had been acting different lately. Normally, they said, Zaidan would set out plastic chairs on the sidewalk in front of his house every night, and neighbours would collect to chew over current events. Then just over three weeks ago, Zaidan stopped putting out the chairs. About four days ago, Thahir said, a strange BMW showed up at the house.
US military spokesman has said they were acting on a tip, that a ‘‘walk-in’’ came to them on Monday night with information about the Hussein brothers. They have not identified the informant, but said the $15 million bounty on the Hussein brothers will be paid. Thahir and the cleric said they strongly suspect that Zaidan was the informant. (LAT-WP).
Ze zaten er dus al 3 weken!
Case closed :D

ik denk al eerder. oh, hij was ze waarschijnlijk al jaren zat ... maar hij hield ook van het leven en het leven van zijn directe familie ... het vergt ook nu nog veel moed om die jongens uit te leveren ... dus ik kan me best voorstellen dat hij een paar weken moed heeft verzameld. kortom, zonder echte bewijzen van het tegendeel blijven we toch maar bij de gangbare versie ....:)
