Iraq Report: PUK role in locating Saddam Hussein

RFE/RL's report on the immediate aftermath of Saddam Hussein's capture records remarks by Iraqi Governing Council member Ahmad Chalabi. Chalabi said that the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan played a role in locating Saddam and specifically stated that Kosrat Rasul had a role in uncovering the hideout. The archive should preserve the wording as an attributed contemporary claim: it documents Chalabi's public statement and PUK involvement, rather than claiming that Kosrat personally captured Saddam.
