'SADDAM'S DEAD,' SAYS US

A top US official says he believes Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein has been killed.


White House chief of staff Andrew Card told an online webchat audience: "I think he is dead. The good news is that his regime is no longer a threat to the people of Iraq, nor to the US or our allies."

Saddam's whereabouts are unknown and other US officials have said they don't know if he is dead or alive.

Mr Card was asked if the administration would do everything possible to prevent looted treasures from Iraq's museums from going on the open market.

He said war commander Gen Tommy Franks "is working with Iraqi leaders to encourage people who have come across stolen goods to return them so the treasures of Iraq will be there for generations to come".

It came as the Pentagon admitted the war had cost $20bn so far.
