Saddam sacks air defense commander: Britain
Briefing reporters on condition of anonymity, Prime Minister Tony Blair's official spokesman said Saddam had sacked his cousin, Musahim Saab al-Tikriti, and replaced him with Gen. Shahin Yasin Muhammad al-Tikriti.

The spokesman also said new, unspecified intelligence indicated that U.S. and British bombing may not have been to blame for explosions in two marketplaces in Baghdad this week.

The Blair spokesman said many Iraqi surface-to-air missiles "have been malfunctioning and many have failed to hit their targets and have fallen back onto Baghdad before exploding."

VOICE: "This is the hardest job a dictator has to do. The regime has decided to make a change. You probably always knew that one day we would be toppled and I'd be looking for scapegoats. Don't let it bother you. If you can manager to survive my wrath, you'll probably wind up in Hollywood as a technical adviser for movie adaptation."
