Iraqis read newspapers July 23, 2003 on a Baghdad street the day after Saddam Hussein's sons were killed during a house raid by U.S. troops in the northern city of Mosul. The search for Saddam Hussein drew fresh impetus on Wednesday after U.S. soldiers killed his two sons Uday and Qusay in a fierce six-hour gunbattle in northern Iraq. *******/Faleh Kheiber

This is a U.S. Army image given during a press conference in Baghdad, Iraq on Wednesday July 23, 2003 to explain details of how the two sons of Saddam Hussein, Odai and Qusai were killed by U.S. forces on July 22 in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul.(AP Photo/Dario Lopez-Mills)
Sanchez detailed the array of devastating firepower used against Uday and Qusay, who were barricaded in a fortified section of the villa with two others. Firing AK-47 assault rifles, they wounded four soldiers trying to arrest them.
Around 200 soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division pounded the house using grenades, rocket-firing Kiowa attack helicopters, heavy machine guns and anti-tank missiles.
Sanchez said 10 TOW anti-tank missiles were fired at the villa. Planes, Apache helicopters and even a psy-ops team were on standby to help if needed, but were not used.
Sanchez said three adults in the villa were probably killed by the missile strikes. The last person left alive inside was a teen-ager who U.S. officials say was Saddam's grandson. He was killed when he fired at troops who stormed the house.
