US troops capture 'high interest' Iraqis

US troops have captured Iraqis of “ high interest” when they raided a house in the northern city of Mosul where it was believed Saddam Hussein’s two sons were hiding.

A major gun battle broke out when American soldiers surrounded the house owned one of Saddam’s cousin, who is a key tribal leader in the region.

An APTN cameraman in Mosul, 280 miles north of Baghdad, said residents told him the Americans were at the house looking for Uday and Qusay.
