(FILE) IRAQ PHOTO SET INVASION 20TH ANNIVERSARY

20th anniversary of the Iraq invasion

epa10526315 (FILE) - A photo, donated to and made available by www.military.com and showing former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein moments after his capture by US forces in a farm house outside Tikrit, Iraq, 14 December 2003 (reissued 16 March 2023). The photograph of Saddam Hussein in the moment of his capture was emailed to military.com author John Weisman over the New Year weekend by a friend in the US Special Forces community, who was proud of what his former colleagues in Iraq had accomplished when they pulled the dictator out of his hole. A US-led coalition launched a military invasion of Iraq on 19 March 2003 following former President George W. Bush and his administration's claims that Iraq had stockpiled weapons of mass destruction. The invasion resulted in a change of political regime and years of political and social instability and crisis. The US withdrew its troops officially from Iraq in summer 2010.
