| TV SPEECH 'WAS A TAPE' |
 | Saddam Hussein was targeted in the US cruise
missile strikes on Baghdad - but it could be days before we
know if he was killed.
Just hours after the attacks, the Iraqi dictator made a
television appearance urging his people to fight to victory
and declaring a holy war.
But US Security Offials say a glitch proves his appearance
was pre-recorded and not live.
And they have not ruled out that it could have been a body
double and not the Iraqi dictator.
Saddam is known to have a number of "doubles" he uses for
public appearances.
CIA Director George Tenet is believed to have met with US
President George Bush yesterday afternoon, claiming to know
the whereabouts of a meeting of senior Iraqi officials.
The Iraqi leader is believed to have been one of five
Government leaders at the meeting in a "private residence" in
Southern Baghdad.
Earlier Mr Bush insisted that if Saddam Hussein was killed
in the attacks it could "change the course of the
war". |
