Update: Reuters says attack was on half brother Barzan Ibrahim Hasan al-Tikriti. Baier said cousin. Now Greta Van Susteren said half brother too. Many Saddam relatives are called al-Tikriti since they come from Tikrit. Brett Baier says it was Barzan Ibrahim al-Tikriti too, and that the strike was based on time-sensitive information.

AS SAYLIYA CAMP, Qatar (Reuters) - U.S.-led forces dropped six JDAM "smart bombs" on Friday on a home west of Baghdad of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s half brother who used to head the secret police, the military said.

"The brother is a regime presidential adviser. The building was targeted with six JDAMs, in a continuing effort to degrade the Hussein regime. Battle damage assessment is ongoing," said a statement from war headquarters in the Gulf state of Qatar. At 1:45 local time warplanes raided the building near Ramadi, some 70 miles west of the Iraqi capital, which was a home of Barzan Ibrahim Hasan al-Tikriti.

He was the former head of the Mukhabarat intelligence service.
