BAGHDAD, (Aug. 2) - Iraq's U.S. governor Paul Bremer tempted Iraqis on Saturday with the prospect of a millionaire lifestyle in a foreign country of their choice in exchange for information on Saddam Hussein's whereabouts. "Someone told us where to find his sons Uday and Qusay and less than two weeks later we have paid him $30 million and relocated him and his family safely outside Iraq," Bremer told a news conference held near the ex-dictator's former palace. "We're going to get Saddam too. The only question is who is going to get the $25 million and move to another country." WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAT After toppling Saddam in April, U.S. forces announced a reward of up to $25 million for information leading to his capture or proof of his death. It offered up to $15 million for similar information on each of his feared sons Uday and Qusay, who were killed last month in a fierce shoot-out at a villa in the northern city of Mosul after being betrayed by a former associate. Bremer said Saddam was finished, even if he had not yet been found, and Iraqis should feel confident about coming forward. Once the ex-president is dead or in captivity, Bremer said a guerrilla campaign blamed on Saddam loyalists that has killed 53 U.S. soldiers in the past three months was likely to abate. "It seems to me that bringing (Saddam) to justice either by death or by capturing him will really draw down a curtain on this terrible period," the U.S. administrator said. "I said after the killing of his two sons that I expected attacks in the short run to increase and that happened for a few days...I would hope that, even if there is a short-term increase in attacks, they would dissipate over time." Asked whether the United States would consider increasing the reward offered for Saddam, Bremer demurred. "This is the largest ransom the United States has ever offered," he said. "I think people can live pretty happily on $25 or $30 million...whether they decided to live in Iraq or a Western country." 08/02/03 12:50 ET Copyright 2003 Reuters Limited. All rights reserved.
