Baghdad - The bodies of the two slain sons of Saddam Hussein, Uday and Qusay, underwent "facial reconstruction" before they were shown to international correspondents on Friday, said a United States military official.

"The two bodies have undergone facial reconstruction with mortician's putty to make them resemble as closely as possible the faces of the brothers when they were alive," said an official at Baghdad's international airport where the corpses were being kept.

Speaking as the bodies were shown to independent journalists, he also said there was "no indication" that either of the brothers had committed suicide during the attack on Tuesday in the house in Mosul where they were holed up.
