WASHINGTON (CNN) -- U.S. troops are investigating whether Saddam Hussein's sons Uday and Qusay were among those killed during a firefight Tuesday with American troops in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul, Pentagon officials told CNN.
A U.S. official said two of those killed in the attack "could be" Qusay and Uday, indicated by recent intelligence reports to have been in the Mosul area recently.
"We are reasonably certain they could have met their maker," one U.S. official told CNN. "We didn't just stumble across them."
A U.S. official told CNN Pentagon Correspondent Barbara Starr that 200 members of the 101st Airborne Division were involved in the assault, and that no one was captured at the house raided in Mosul but four people were killed. Further details were expected shortly.
Military sources in Baghdad said the bodies were those of high-ranking allies of Saddam.
Qusay and Uday are the second- and third-most wanted fugitive Iraqi leaders. Qusay, the former head of Iraq's Special Security Organization, appears as the ace of clubs in the deck of cards issued to U.S. troops in Iraq; Uday, the organizer of the paramilitary Fedayeen Saddam and the former head of Iraq's Olympic committee, is the ace of hearts.
*Looks like Uday and Qusay met their fate on this day* lol
