US raiders were not certain at first they had Saddam when they pulled a bearded man from a hole in a Iraq cellar, but soon were able to determine it was Saddam Hussein. The capture came after US forces received intelligence on two possible hideouts in the town. News of Saddam's capture sent crowds onto Baghdad streets, firing off bursts of celebratory gunfire. Saddam was described as being "talkative and is being co-operative" by the US military. Video footage of Saddam's medical examination by the US military was broadcast, showing the 66-year-old with a dishevelled beard and unkempt hair.

Two Iraqis who tried to flee the scene were also arrested by some of the 600 American troops involved in Operation Red Dawn. Saddam was not injured in the raid and put up no resistance. The first formal confirmation of the capture of Saddam was given by Paul Bremer, head of the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq, who told a news conference in Baghdad: "Ladies and gentlemen - We got him!" An orange and white taxi was parked nearby. With him were two AK-47 rifles, a pistol and 750,000 US dollars. The toppled dictator - in good health, although "bewildered" and "disorientated" - surrendered to US forces after being cornered hiding alone in a hole in the ground under a hut near a farmhouse in the village of Ad Dawr. Saddam Hussein is in American custody after being captured near his home town of Tikrit without a shot being fired.
