The US released graphic photographs of what it says are the dead bodies of Saddam Hussein's two sons Uday and Qusay. The US says its troops killed the much-feared brothers in a raid on a house in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul on Tuesday but many Iraqis insisted on proof that they are dead. The US had hoped that the death of Uday and Qusay would bring an end to attacks on US soldiers, but five have been killed in three separate incidents since Tuesday. The photos were released on a CD-Rom that included two pictures of each brother, plus images of them when they were alive and X-ray slides. One photograph appears to show Qusay lying in a plastic body bag that has been opened at the top. The photograph of Uday shows a similarly bearded man with a scar or discolouration running along his face - which might support some coalition claims that he tried to take his own life or did take his own life rather than be captured.
