Saddam sons killed by 10 anti-tank missiles

Saddam Hussein’s sons Uday and Qusay were killed by 10 anti-tank missiles when they returned US calls to surrender with small arms fire, the US commander of Allied troops in Iraq said today.

Lt Gen Ricardo Sanchez said an interpreter used a loudspeaker to call on the men to come out peacefully. When that failed, US troops who stormed the building were repulsed from the palatial villa twice by AK-47 automatic rifle fire.
