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?]
