Difference between revisions 792706 and 794905 on enwikiThe '''death of Saddam Hussein''' has been reported as a strong possibility by analysts associated with the US military, since a precision bombing attack in [[Baghdad]] shortly after the [[2003 Iraq war]] began. Videotapes released after the attack have not convinced US analysts that [[Saddam Hussein|Saddam]] is still alive. One tape showed a man who looks like Saddam wearing glasses and reading from handwritten notes. Analysts seized upon the glasses and notes as two big differences from Saddam's usual TV appearances. Additionally, a former mistress of the Iraqi dictator said it was not him: the man's cheeks were too puffy. Another tape provided only vague references to the progress of the war and could have been prepared in advance. It also praised a military leader for an attack, although that leader had already surrendered to US forces.
