Baghdad - Members of Iraq's Governing Council have been given access to see the bodies of Saddam Hussein's two dead sons, Uday and Qusay, a senior coalition official said on Thursday.
"They've been invited and they're expected to be there right now," the senior official said, asking not to be named.
"They've probably already seen the bodies," being held in a US base set up in the compound of Baghdad International Airport, he added.
The US-led coalition is battling with scepticism among ordinary Iraqis over the fate of Uday and Qusay, killed in an intense firefight on Tuesday with US forces in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul.
US officials have said they will show photographs of the bodies "soon" in an effort to overcome any doubts.
