Citation :U.S. Can't Find Hussein Bunker

BAGHDAD, May 29 -- U.S. troops have found no sign of bodies or even a bunker at the site where intelligence had said then-President Saddam Hussein was sleeping on the opening night of the war, a senior U.S. military officer said today.
Acting on an intelligence tip, U.S. forces launched their campaign March 20 by firing more than 40 Tomahawk missiles at the Dora neighborhood south of Baghdad, where the Iraqi leader was said to be with his sons.
U.S. officials have said they moved faster than planned to open the war because they were eager to kill Hussein. "We looked real hard," said Col. Tim Madere, a specialist in unconventional weapons with the Army's V Corps. "We didn't find any bodies or bunkers."
CBS News first reported on his comments Wednesday.
Although no bunker was found, U.S. officials said the information regarding the presence of Hussein and other leaders the night of the strike is still regarded as credible.
Officials have said it was unlikely any bodies would be recovered from the site because the Iraqis had time to remove them.
Madere is part of the U.S.-led search for weapons of mass destruction. Looking for underground bunkers is a large part of the job, and weapons teams are occasionally also sent to gather evidence on the former government and crimes it may have committed.
