Meanwhile a former Marine is claiming the U.S. fabricated how Saddam Hussein was captured and that Iraq’s former leader was actually found in a village home not a hole as depicted by the U.S. military Sgt. Nadim Abou Rabeh has told a Saudi newspaper that he participated in the capture which took place in a small village near Saddam’s hometown of Tikrit after an intense firefight. Rabeh claims a US military production team fabricated the film of Saddam’s capture in a hole and staged it in a deserted well. Rabeh also claims the capture took place on Dec. 12 — one day earlier than the military claimed.
