Uday-Qusay bodies showed to press members

Qusay’s beard had been shaved off but his moustache had been left, while Uday’s beard was still intact. The corpses did not look like they had in the
initial photographs taken of the two and released to the press on Thursday. A wound in Uday’s face had been repaired, but there is still a hole in the top of his head," he added.
Speaking as the bodies were shown to independent journalists, the military official said there was "no indication" that either of the brothers had committed suicide during the US raid Tuesday on the house in the northern city of Mosul where they were holed up.
He added that the US military had not yet decided what to do with the bodies, but that it may be prepared to release them to family members. The US-led coalition decided to release photographs of two corpses on Thursday in an effort to overcome deep suspicion among Iraqis over whether the pair were really killed in Tuesday’s assault.
