Lunch money Offered for El Grande Gasman U.S. Offers $25 Million Reward for Saddam's Capture 44 minutes ago Add Top Stories - Reuters to My Yahoo! BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The United States is offering $25 million for any information that leads to the capture of ousted Iraqi President Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) or proves that he is dead, a spokesman for Iraq (news - web sites)'s U.S.-led administration said on Thursday. "(Administration head) Ambassador (Paul) Bremer will be announcing a new $25 million reward for information leading to the capture of Saddam Hussein or information confirming his earlier death," the spokesman told reporters. He said $15 million was being offered for similar information about either of Saddam's two sons, Uday and Qusay. More than three months after a U.S.-led war on Iraq toppled Saddam, there is still no sign of the former Iraqi president -- who ruled over Iraq for a quarter of a century -- or his sons. U.S.-led forces have come under attack increasingly in recent weeks, and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has blamed the resistance on die-hard Saddam loyalists, unspecified foreigners and people he has said were "influenced by Iran." Rumsfeld said on Monday that remnants of Saddam's ousted government, Baath party and Fedayeen paramilitary units had faded into the population and reverted to a "terrorist network" since Saddam was ousted by U.S.-led forces on April 9. At least 23 U.S. and six British troops have been killed by hostile fire since President Bush (news - web sites) declared major combat in Iraq over on May 1, and Iraq remains awash with guns despite a mid-June arms surrender deadline set by U.S. forces. While many Iraqis are pleased Saddam has gone, they clamor for their own government and some openly resent the occupation.
