[lbo-talk] it took 200 Americans 4 hours to kill 4 Iraqis

[R]

as i understand it, the bodies were burned beyond recognition.  if this is true, only DNA testing would confirm their identies.   current news reports are saying the victims were saddam's kids.  any ideas what the US done to confirm these destroyed bodies were saddam's kids?

  U.S. Kills 'High-Value' Iraqis in Siege

  By Miral Fahmy

  MOSUL, Iraq (Reuters) - U.S. troops stormed a house in the northern 

  Iraqi city of Mosul on Tuesday and said they killed four high-ranking 

  allies of Saddam Hussein (news - web sites).

  Some 200 soldiers blasted the villa with machineguns and rockets 

  during a four-hour battle before storming in to find four bodies, 

  U.S. officers said.

  They declined to identify them or comment on local rumors Saddam's 

  sons might have been present.
