During the last week of June and early July, reports Russell, the military became aware of a family of brothers believed to possess information about Saddam's whereabouts and to be helping protect him. They were identified by other Iraqis who were shown pictures - many of them seized in previous raids - of Saddam surrounded by cronies...
