Baghdad - A stash of Viagra, a condom and £60m in cash were found with the bodies of Saddam Hussein's sons Uday and Qusay, Sky News reports.
US troops discovered a briefcase stuffed with the sex aids, a number of bottles of cologne, shirts and a silk tie in the northern Iraqi home where the pair were killed.
Two women's purses were also found near the bodies following the gun battle with US forces, Newsweek reported.
The brothers had a huge pile of money in US dollars and Iraqi dinars with them, worth three times the £20m bounty that America put on their heads.
US officials are not sure if the men were financing a guerrilla war against British and US forces or concerned with saving their own lives.
The American reward is expected to go to Nawaf al-Zaidan, the Iraqi tribal leader who owned the villa in Mosul where the men were hiding.
The bodies of Uday and Qusay were shown on television last week to convince sceptical Iraqis that the former dictator's sons were dead.
