DAY IN HISTORY



December 13, 2003 Saddam Hussein Captured

After spending nine months on the run, former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein was captured on this day in 2003. Saddam's downfall began on March 20, 2003, when the United States led an invasion force into Iraq to topple his government, which had controlled the country for more than 20 years.  He was tried and executed in 2006
