NEWS FLASH: CONFIRMED: SADDAM HUSSAIN WAS KILLED
in AIR STRIKE
Report Quashes Rumors that he Ran Away: All with
him were also Killed except
two
Betrayal by Republican Guards Commander who was
working with
CIA
"And if ye are slain, or die, in the way
of Allah, forgiveness and
mercy from Allah are far better than all they
could amass."
[The Qur'an 3:157]
April 13, 2003: New Trend has just received
a report from reliable
sources that President Saddam Hussain was killed
in a
U.S.
air strike last
Monday. According to this report, a large number
of Iraqi civilians and
officials were killed when the U.S. fired "bunker
busters" in the Mansourah
area of Baghdad. The strike came after the U.S.
was tipped off about the
President's presence by a Republican Guards
commander working for the CIA.
Saddam Hussain's entire leadership cadre was
apparently killed with him.
The only survivors are reported to be the
Information Minister Saeed
al-Sahhaf and Vice President Izzat Ibrahim who
were not there when the attack
took place.
Saddam seems to have sensed that a
betrayal was going on in the
Republican Guard. He issued an order that units
which have lost touch with
the others should continue to fight with those
nearest to them.
This report deserves widespread
distribution because it puts an end
to speculation that Saddam left the defenders of
Baghdad in the lurch and
escaped.
According to Islamic rulings, Saddam is
Shaheed.
He went down fighting
in the defense of the Islamic homeland.
Readers are urged to make du'a for Saddam
Hussain's soul that Allah may
forgive his sins, accept his shahada and give him
al-Jannah. [Question for
our Islamic scholars: Are janaza prayers held for
those who are shaheed?]
