An archived 1-meter resolution satellite image of
Ad-Dawr, Iraq, was taken by Space Imaging's IKONOS satellite on Feb. 27,
2003, while orbiting 423 miles above Earth. The image shows the
farmhouse just northwest of the town of Ad-Dawr where former Iraqi
President Saddam Hussein was captured on Dec. 13, 2003, during Operation
Red Dawn. The farmhouse, nestled in a tree grove across from an
agricultural field, is approximately 888 feet (270 meters) from the
Tigris River and about 9 miles (15 kilometers) southeast of his
ancestral hometown of Tikrit.
