The United States is undertaking a vigorous military and intelligence effort to track, and possibly kill, Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, an American newspaper reported Monday.
The effort involves, among other things, small teams of U.S. special operations forces and CIA paramilitary units inside and around Iraq, satellite imagery, radio intercepts and airborne reconnaissance, U.S. intelligence officials told The USA Today.
The activities are part of a strategy designed to pressure Saddam to depart or disarm and, if he won't, pave the way for a U.S.-led invasion to oust him, the report added. (Albawaba.com)
