What happened to selling Saddam Hussein's bodyguard for 25 million yuan?

On March 2, 23, the United States launched the Iraq war. Although Saddam Hussein, then Iraqi President before the war, clamored for the US military to repeat the mistakes of the Vietnam War, the Iraq war was actually a very asymmetric war.

Iraqi troops were vulnerable to the powerful U.S. military. On April 8, the U.S. military occupied Baghdad, the capital of Iraq. Before that, Saddam had already fled Baghdad and was nowhere to be found. On the 15th, the US military announced that the all-out war was over.

Saddam Hussein's defeat so quickly is staggering. Apart from the unequal strength of the two countries, salted fish thinks that the main reason is that there are many internal contradictions in Iraq, and it is impossible to unite and unite with the outside world, especially in the face of the huge military pressure and temptation from the US military, many Iraqi soldiers simply can't resist it. Before the American troops landed in Iraq, many senior generals in the Iraqi army had been successfully alienated by the American troops, which was also the main reason why many Iraqi troops failed to effectively resist after the American troops landed.

Saddam Hussein may never have thought that his army and his generals would betray him, but? Betrayal? It's just that the beginning is far from over. He would never have thought that he would eventually die of betrayal.

After Saddam fled Baghdad, he began to hide everywhere to save his life. In order to ensure his life safety, he returned to his hometown of tikrit. He was accompanied by only a few bodyguards he trusted most. During his escape, he dismissed most of the bodyguards, leaving only a few loyal and reliable ones to protect himself. One of them was Musrat, who was a senior officer in the Guard and a close confidant of Saddam, and was deeply trusted by Saddam. To this end, Saddam Hussein also asked him to act as a middleman between himself and the outside world, and Musrat never failed Saddam Hussein's trust until December, when he was unfortunately captured by the US military after going out on a mission.

At that time, the U.S. military realized the relationship between this man and Saddam Hussein, so it immediately sent interrogation experts to conduct a rigorous interrogation of Musrat, hoping to learn the whereabouts of Saddam Hussein from his mouth.

When American troops entered Baghdad, they offered a reward of 25 million dollars for clues about Saddam's hiding. There must be a brave man under the four rewards? As long as the money is in place, there is nothing impossible. Although this is the case, the US military firmly believes that in fact, no one has taken the initiative to provide clues to the US military since the announcement of the reward. The US military did not understand it at first, but later learned that it was not that the money was not in place, but that there were too few people who knew Saddam's hiding place at that time. These people were still relatively loyal, such as Musrat who was caught.

At first, Murat didn't speak. It was not until the US military tortured him to extract a confession that Murat took the initiative to tell Saddam's hiding place. With the news, the US military quickly launched an arrest operation, and Saddam was captured in less than two days.

So after Saddam was arrested, did Musrat get a reward of 25 million dollars? The answer is no, Americans are not stupid enough to give so much money to an Iraqi. Moreover, Americans explained that Musrat was forced to confess only after he was arrested, not voluntarily, so he did not meet the reward requirements. Not only that, he was also a confidant of Saddam Hussein and one of the criminals in the war, and he was guilty himself, so he not only failed to get the reward, but also had a high probability of going to jail.

salted fish believes that traitors in this world will come to no good end, and only those who stand firm will win the affirmation and admiration of everyone, including their opponents.
