Iraq Report: PUK role in locating Saddam Hussein | Kosrat Rasool Ali Historical Archive

One of the strongest contemporary sources concerning Kosrat Rasul's reported role in the search for Saddam Hussein. Ahmad Chalabi publicly confirmed that the PUK played a role in locating Saddam and specifically named Kosrat Rasul.

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.

What this source supports

A contemporary, named attribution by Ahmad Chalabi that the PUK helped locate Saddam Hussein and that Kosrat Rasul had a role in uncovering the hideout.
