Question: Does Saddam's capture mean U.S. troops will be coming home?

Answer: U.S. officials, including President Bush, have warned Americans that much work remains to be done to stabilize Iraq before the approximately 130,000 U.S. troops there can return home.

Who is now in charge of the insurgents?

U.S. military and intelligence experts say no one knows for sure. Many doubt Saddam had been involved in day-to-day operations since his regime collapsed in April, concentrating instead on avoiding capture. So his removal from any chain of command would have little effect. The best guess is that whatever leadership exists is coming from one of Saddam's closest cronies, Izzat Ibrahim al Douri, whom U.S. forces have been hunting intensely as well. Saddam's capture could even become a new rallying point for those opposed to the U.S. presence in Iraq.

What happens with the $25 million reward the United States offered for Saddam's capture?

The United States in July paid $30 million reward money to the person who led them to Saddam's sons, Odai and Qusai, who were killed in a U.S. raid on a house in Mosul. It is not clear at this point who, if anyone, will be paid the $25 million reward offered for Saddam's capture.

Where did the $750,000 in U.S. currency he was found with come from?

In the hours before American bombs began falling on Baghdad in March, one of Saddam's sons, Qusai, and Saddam's personal assistant, Abid al-Hamid Mahmood, removed $1 billion in cash from the country's Central Bank, including $900 in U.S. $100 bills and as much as $100 million in euros. Most of those 236 boxes of cash were found two months later by U.S.-led coalition troops in government palaces throughout Baghdad. But more than 40 boxes remained missing.
