No top Iraqis hit in Syrian attack - Rumsfeld

There is no evidence that senior Iraqi leaders were among those killed in an attack on a convoy last week near the Syrian border, US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said.

Initial news reports about the attack said Saddam Hussein or his sons, Uday and Qusay, were thought by US intelligence to have been in the convoy, which was destroyed by US air and ground forces, including an AC-130 gunship, helicopters and special operations troops.
