A marvelous amount of Military movement and live TV at the scene, indicates strong suspicion we 'got' them.
Time for a good news break to happen.

More on raid...

-- Maj. Trey Cate of the 101st Airborne Division said 200 soldiers were sent to the house after receiving a tip that important members of Hussein's overthrown regime were there.

He declined to identify them, and would not comment on local rumors that Hussein's sons Uday and Qusay were inside.

American troops blasted the house with machine guns, grenades and anti-tank missiles after coming under fire from people inside, Cate said. Helicopters were also used to secure the area. After the battle, a small group of soldiers went into the house and brought out four bodies.

Cate said five Iraqis were killed in the battle, including the four "high-value individuals," and at least five wounded. He said one U.S. soldier was shot in the chest but was in a stable condition... - Wash Post

-- reports task force 20, including CIA and Deltas were involved... - Fox News
