Saddam 'in disguise and near Tikrit'

Saddam Hussein has disguised himself and has been moving around the areas outside of his hometown of Tikrit, but not in the city itself, where he would be too easily recognised, an Iraqi police official said.

Hamed Muzhir, police chief of Salah ad-Din province, which includes Tikrit, did not say when Saddam was last seen or how he knew that the former dictator was in the area.
