The news is shocking. Most people in Mogadishu are not delighted this news "the capture of Saddam Hussein" and they consider it as bad news.

Some say this is unbelievable and beyond their imagination, while others like me in Mogadishu think it is possible to capture Saddam Hussein but the question is if the capture of Saddam Hussein was so relatively easy and simple why not before? They said he has been hiding in a spider hole in his ancestral farmhouse in Tikrit for months. What the childish and cheap news this is!

I believe his capture came after long hours of negotiations. This might be between Saddam loyalists and the Coalition Authority though external nations might take part the truce, possibly like France, Germany,Russia and some arab countries.

If this is true, the negotiations were significant to both the Iraqi Governing Council as well as the Coalition led by Bush and Blair governments. It will give a new chance to both of them, for Coalition they want to stay longer in Iraq and exploit its natural resources where also the Iraqi Governing Council would like to have new opportunities to run peace, democratic and stable Iraqi administration in the very near future.

However and whenever time it took Saddam Hussein has been captured without resistance. The great man is at the end in his enemy's prison.

Something that is very interesting to know is that this will send a warning signal to Osama Bin Ladin and he would at leat know he is the second main fugitive at large and American administration will add up all its personnel and money to enable his capture or murder.

I hope Americans anywhere in the planet are aware that this is only a moral support and will last for only few more days. the Iraqi insurgents and resistance will continue regardless of Saddam Hussin's capture and I believe if it is true Saddam Hussein has been hiding in a spider hole in his farmhouse in Tikrit the last months then the man who has been in charge of organizing and launching such brutal and bravery attacks to the Coalition troops is still alive and active.

According to what I believe it is possible the insurgents will increase with fragmented leadership where any loyalist would take his/her own responsibility to launch attacks against the Coalition and this may worsen the situation. May this come to existence, it will be very difficult to the Coalition to get a solution, they will not have something to entertain to the occupying troops to resist to the Iraqi insurgents nor they will have a single figure to chase like Saddam Hussein. They will not also have at least some one to negotiate about the situation.

This is my personal views and any positive or negative comments against it should be directly forwarded to me.
Thank you very much.

Yours Sincerely
