July 3: Washington, D.C. – The United States began offering a reward of $25 million for information that either leads to the capture of Saddam Hussein or confirms that the Iraqi leader is dead. Smaller rewards of $15 million were offered for the same type of information for Saddam’s sons, Uday and Qusay, and paid in full when the two were killed July 22 (see below). Coalition Forces believe that Saddam Hussein is still alive after the CIA positively identified his voice in a cassette tape released to the Arab media earlier in the summer.
