U.S. says Saddam aides, rebel cells found
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3717232/

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Saddam Hussein’s capture is already reaping dividends for the U.S. military, providing intelligence that allowed U.S. soldiers to capture several top regime figures and uncover rebel cells in the capital, a U.S. general said Monday.

The U.S. military hopes Saddam will clear up allegations that he had chemical and biological weapons and a nuclear weapons program, said U.S. Army Brig. Gen. Mark Hertling of the 1st Armored Division.

“I certainly think some of that will come out,” Hertling told The Associated Press. “I think we’ll get some significant intelligence over the next couple of days.”

Since Saddam’s capture on Saturday, U.S. Army teams from the 1st Armored Division have captured one high-ranking former regime figure — who has yet to be named — and that prisoner has given up a few others, Hertling said. All the men are currently being interrogated and more raids are expected, Hertling said.
