1-22 soldiers load a blindfolded Iraqi detainee into a military truck in a U.S. army base in Tikrit, Tuesday Aug. 12, 2003. U.S. soldiers from the 1st Battalion 22nd Infantry Regiment of the 4th Infantry Division captured one of Saddam Hussein's former bodyguards and an Iraqi general who was a senior Baath Party official in a series of raids on the outskirts of Tikrit, the dictator's hometown. A total of 14 men were detained in the three-hour operation in a southern suburb of Tikrit. All the men were members of the same family, which served as a pillar of support for Saddam's regime, said Lt. Col. Steve Russell, commander of the 22nd Infantry Regiment's 1st Battalion.
