Ex-Marine Says Public Version of Saddam Capture Fiction

United Press International

A former U.S. Marine who participated in capturing ousted Iraqi President
Saddam Hussein said the public version of his capture was fabricated.

 Ex-Sgt. Nadim Abou Rabeh, of Lebanese descent, was quoted in the Saudi
daily al-Medina Wednesday as saying Saddam was actually captured Friday,
Dec. 12, 2003, and not the day after, as announced by the U.S. Army.

 "I was among the 20-man unit, including eight of Arab descent, who
searched for Saddam for three days in the area of Dour near Tikrit, and we
found him in a modest home in a small village and not in a hole as
announced," Abou Rabeh said.

 "We captured him after fierce resistance during which a Marine of Sudanese
origin was killed," he said.

 He said Saddam himself fired at them with a gun from the window of a room
on the second floor. Then they shouted at him in Arabic: "You have to
surrender. ... There is no point in resisting."

 "Later on, a military production team fabricated the film of Saddam's
capture in a hole, which was in fact a deserted well," Abou Rabeh said.

 Abou Rabeh was interviewed in Lebanon.
