Saddam still in Iraq

Washington - The US administrator in Iraq Paul Bremer said on Sunday that capturing deposed Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein will not end the attacks on US-led forces.
"It will be helpful, it won't end the attacks," he told Fox television. "It will finally pull the curtain down on the dream some of these dead-enders have that Saddam is coming back. "I think he's still in Iraq, he's still alive," Bremer he said. "We don't have any immediate intelligence as to exactly where he is."
Bremer spoke shortly after a barrage of rockets pounded Baghdad's Rashid Hotel where US deputy defence secretary Paul Wolfowitz was staying, killing one US soldier and wounding 15 others. Wolfowitz was not hurt.
"I asked for a complete investigation into this and my security people are looking at it," Bremer said.
"We have a major terrorist problem in Iraq. We are on front on the war on terrorism," he said.
