...used high-powered binoculars to survey the crowd of friends and family from a platform high above the guests. He saw something he liked, recalls his former aide Adib Shabaan, who helped arrange the party. Uday tightened the focus on a pretty 14-year-old girl in a bright yellow dress sitting with her father, a former provincial governor, her mother and her younger brother and sister. Uday's bodyguards picked up the signal and walked through the darkened room, flicking cigarette lighters as they approached the girl's table. Uday, then 33, flipped on his too, confirming they...

A senior engineer, Mehdi Nimaa Tarish, went with a handful of volunteers and laid concrete on the radioactive floor of the store where the yellow cake had been kept, then bricked up its broken windows, he said. The Americans "watched from a safe distance," he said, and gave no assistance...
