Saddam seized in raid near Tikrit

Former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein is now in Iraqi custody and has made his first appearance in an Iraqi courtroom today to hear the charges against him for crimes during his rule. U.S. soldiers captured Hussein in a raid on December 13, 2003, after the former Iraqi dictator spent nine months on the run. The once-defiant Iraqi leader was captured without a shot being fired near a compound of ramshackle buildings outside his ancestral hometown of Tikrit.
