Saddam Hussein has been captured, TIME magazine confirmed. "It's
true," said a U.S. intelligence official in Baghdad about the arrest
of the former dictator. The official wouldn't give any more details
except to confirm that the former dictator had been detained the night
before. He did say the suspect had been positively identified as
Saddam Hussein. Ambassador Paul Bremer is calling together the Iraqi
Governing Council to tell them this afternoon, he said.

Celebratory gunfire erupted across Baghdad as the news of the fallen
Iraqi president's arrest spread across the town. Iraqis showed their
joy that the brutal leader had been detained by firing bursts of
automatic weapons fire into the air.
