Chapter 598: Hunt for Saddam
At a time when Iran's relationship with Future Technology Group has entered a level of intimacy.
Far south of Tikrit, Iraq, about 10 kilometers south of Tikrit, the town of Oga, where Saddam Hussein lived when he was young, and Saddam's mass base here is also the best.
The US military is looking for Saddam Hussein in Iraq, and naturally it will not let go of this place.
The U.S. Fourth Division, which was specifically tasked with capturing Saddam, had already surrounded the town, and the entire town had been separated by barbed wire.
Over the past few days, the U.S. military has arrested and interrogated most of the people in the town, and strictly controlled the town's food rations.
It's just a few days later, and the U.S. military hasn't even caught a single hair.
In fact, Saddam Hussein was not here, in another town, Dawar, six kilometers south of the town of Ogga.
When the U.S. military was under strict control of the town of Ogara, several people quietly came to the town of Davar, hiding their tracks along the way, lurking in front of two farmhouses outside the town.
The farmhouse is surrounded by a grove of date palms and palm trees.
The men split into two groups and entered each of the two farmhouses, and in less than a minute, an Iraqi was arrested in each of them.
"Saddam's cook and driver have been arrested, and Saddam should be in this place, looking for it carefully."
Among the several people, a leader in the appearance of a leader, wearing a black robe, commanded the other armed men around him who were also wearing robes.
The two Iraqis who were under control were just quietly kneeling with their heads hanging to the side and being arrested, and it seemed that they had been mentally prepared for a long time.
In their opinion, hiding here, in the end, it is impossible to completely evade the pursuit of the Americans.
It's just that what makes the two extremely puzzled is that these people in front of them are not Americans, and they also speak Arabic.
However, in the face of the gun, these two people just hide their inner doubts in their hearts.
The search lasted less than five minutes before Saddam's hidden tunnels were discovered.
The place where Saddam Hussein hid was not a secret to these people at all, and the people who were looking for it went directly to the small courtyard of one of the farmhouses, and after a simple search, they found the entrance to Saddam's tunnel.
Clearing the floating soil, removing the bricks, finding a dirty blanket, picking up the blanket, and below it was a rubber blanket, picking up the rubber blanket, revealing the plastic foam baffle, picking up the foam baffle, and a carefully camouflaged cave appeared in front of him.
When the baffle was lifted, it was a pair of hands raised. The man in the cave said, "Don't shoot! ”
Inside the cave was Saddam, and in Saddam's view, the other party must be an American, and before he could see who was coming, he said: "I want to negotiate." ”
It is an elaborate underground cavern, about two meters deep. The top of the hole is narrow enough for one person to go up and down, and the bottom is wide enough for one person to lie down. The man lying flat in the cave had messy hair, a scruffy beard, and a haggard face.
Although Saddam's appearance has changed a lot more than usual, his identity was immediately confirmed.
"Who are you?" The man outside the cave asked with further confirmation.
"I am the President of Iraq, Saddam Hussein." Saddam Hussein replied, and then said, "I want to negotiate." ”
When the person at the entrance of the cave heard this, he smiled and said, "Mr. Saddam, our boss, Mr. Fan, greets you. ”
When Saddam Hussein heard this, his eyes widened suddenly, and when he looked up carefully, he found that there were only three people outside the cave, and each of them was an ordinary Arab attire, not the American army he imagined at all.
And Mr. Fan's three words also made Saddam Hussein instantly understand that these people are people from the Future Technology Group.
It's just that Saddam Hussein didn't understand, why would people from the future technology group appear here?
Saddam Hussein, who couldn't figure it out, was pulled out of the hole, and at this moment Saddam Hussein did not look like the head of a country at all, he looked exhausted all over his body, and his spiritual will also looked like he was resigned to fate.
At this time, the black-robed man who led the team also came over, brought Saddam's driver and cook, stood in front of Saddam, and the black-robed man said:
"Mr. Saddam, you are really hard to find, in the last half a month, we have found more than 30 places where you have been hiding, and now we can find you here, it is really lucky, at least you did not fall into the hands of the Americans."
The voice of the black-robed man made Saddam Hussein feel a spirit, this voice was so familiar that he couldn't believe it.
"Who are you?" Saddam Hussein asked, his eyes fixed on the man in a black robe.
"Don't worry, we need to verify your authenticity first." The black-robed man waved his hand, and someone came over and began to check Saddam's body.
The process of examination was very careful, first of all, Saddam's teeth were examined, and Saddam Hussein carried out a careful camouflage in the process of escaping.
Moreover, there are many stand-ins for Saddam, and several stand-ins for Saddam have been caught in previous search operations.
But no matter how the stand-in or Saddam Hussein himself disguised, some physical characteristics cannot be changed.
The number and shape of a person's teeth cannot be changed, after a simple examination, comparing the information in the database, the shape of the Saddam Hussein's teeth in front of him is completely consistent with the data.
However, after this examination, Saddam's identity was not really fully determined, and the troops for this operation also specially carried a rapid DNA detection instrument.
After half an hour of comprehensive testing, it was already 100 percent certain that the person in front of him was the real Saddam.
During the inspection process, Saddam Hussein was very cooperative, because he did not know why the people of the Future Technology Group did this.
In the process of being examined, Saddam Hussein also said many things that only he knew, and also showed his usual style, when talking about the sharp contradictions in Iraq, he still used thugs and robbers to describe his own people.
Facing a man who was about to leave the stage, the black-robed man waved his hand, and the two Red Guard soldiers in the farmhouse stepped forward, pulled the trigger mercilessly, and directly killed Saddam's driver and cook without warning.
The firearm used was an AK-47 rifle that Saddam had recovered from hiding in a cave.
The two men died without knowing why, and Saddam Hussein was also taken aback.
"What do you future tech groups want to do, they shouldn't die." Saddam Hussein looked a little angry, and also understood that the people of the future technology group were not here to save themselves.
