About 600 officers and men of the Fourth Infantry Regiment of the US Army, led by Major General Odino, the division commander, went to Dalva Town and surrounded Saddam's hiding place. At 8 o'clock that night, heavily armed American soldiers launched a surprise attack codenamed "Red Dawn". After continuous search, the US military and Kurdish special forces decided to expand the search scope.
Finally, the Infantry Regiment of the 4th Division of the US Army found a hole cleverly covered with bricks and mud in the basement of tikrit Building. After the military shovel opened the hole, it was clear that the hole was almost 2 meters deep, enough for one person to hide inside. There is a vent in the cave, and there is a man standing inside, which is exactly what they think is "the number one enemy" Saddam.
