Saddam located, CIA told Bush

CIA Director George Tenet told Bush he not only knew where the Iraqi leader was, but also believed he knew where he would be for hours to come consulting with advisers at a known private residence in southern Baghdad, The Washington Post said.

Those advisers were believed to include Saddam's two sons, Qusai and Uday. Officials said it was unclear whether any of the three were near the target, or had been killed. Both sons hold high-level security positions in Saddam's regime.
