Bells Are Ringing

Saddam Hussein has been captured! Found on a farm outside of Tikrit, in an old-fashioned extra room off the cellar. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
Lt. Col. Sanchez said troops acted after receiving a tip that Hussein was possibly at one of two locations. After searches of both locations failed to turn up Hussein, U.S. forces began scouring other places in the area and came upon Hussein hiding in what Sanchez called a six-to-eight-foot-deep "spider hole" that had been camouflaged with bricks and dirt. The soldiers saw the hole, investigated and found him inside, Sanchez said.
