Cutaway shot of mourners praying in front of the grave (++MUTE++) 9. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Iraqi mourner: "These three for us are considered as martyrs, they are heroes and as heroes, they are not being honoured the way they deserve. As an Iraqi citizen from this moment I would offer my soul to Qusai, Odai, Mustafa and Saddam, and not only me but so many people would do the same. You will see what's going to happen to the Americans after the way they treated our heroes." Tikrit, Iraq, 2 August 2003: 10. SOUNDBITE (English) Lieutenant Colonel Steve Russel, Fourth Infantry Division: "We know that the Iraqi Red Crescent received the remains of Odai and Qusai Hussein. They picked them up at an airfield and then they transported them to a cemetery in a village south of Tikrit." 11. Wide of the burial site 12. SOUNDBITE (English) Lieutenant Colonel Steve Russel, Fourth Infantry Division: "We received no orders to provide escort, we received no orders to be present over the funeral detail or officiate over anything.

Leaders of Saddam Hussein's tribe buried the bodies, wrapped in Iraqi flags in a sign the family considered them to be martyrs. Later, they gathered to mourn Saddam Hussein's elder sons, Odai and Qusai, and a grandson, 14-year-old Mustafa Hussein, Qusai's son, also believed killed in a fierce gun battle with U.S. troops July 22 in Mosul. Lt. Col. Steve Russell from the 4th Infantry Division which is based in Tikrit, told AP that the army flew the bodies into an airfield just north of Tikrit, and sent them in ambulances to the cemetery. About 20 cars passed through an already established military checkpoint to reach the burial ground.
