Saddam shown on TV?

BAGHDAD MARCH 21. The Iraqi President, Saddam Hussein, was shown on State TV on Friday, meeting his son Qusay, who heads the Republican Guard, and the Defence Minister, Sultan Hashem Ahmad, on the second day of the war.

The television gave no details about the meeting, but the broadcast came after the White House said it had ``no concrete'' information on Mr. Hussein's fate following the first bomb attacks on Baghdad. U.S. media reports had earlier said that Saddam may have been wounded in the first pre-dawn raids on Thursday. Witnesses saw Mr. Hussein being carried away from the wreckage of the compound with an oxygen mask over his face, ABC reported.
