General: U.S. Troops Seize Millions in Cash in Iraq
Wed June 18, 2003 11:42 AM ET
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. troops raided two farmhouses near Tikrit north of Baghdad on Wednesday and seized millions of American dollars, British pounds, Euros and Iraqi dinars apparently designated in part to pay bounties to kill American soldiers, a senior U.S. general said.
Army Maj. Gen. Ray Odierno told Pentagon reporters in a teleconference from Tikrit that his troops seized $8.5 million dollars, 300 to 400 million dinars, uncounted English pounds and Euros and jewels valued at up to $1 million.

Odierno said the raids, latest in a series aimed at trying to halt deadly ambush attacks on U.S. troops in Iraq, also resulted in the capture of as many as 50 of former President Saddam Hussein's Special Republican Guard and security forces.
