One of Saddam Hussein's sons is reported to be negotiating his surrender with Coalition forces but is said to be hesitant because of the way US officials are handling negotiations.Uday Hussein is the former Iraqi leader's eldest son and notorious for his treatment of political opponents. The reports have been attributed to a Wall Street Journal source but have not been confirmed yet. It said Uday feared for his life at the hands of vengeful Iraqis. He is said to want to know what the charges would be if he surrendered and the conditions under which he would be held in talks being held between intermediaries, the newspaper reported. But Coalition forces are thought to have no intention of negotiating as they are confident he will soon be tracked down. And the commander of Coalition forces in Iraq, Lietuenant General David McKiernan, denied that there were any negotiations taking place. Meanwhile, Saddam Hussein himself is rumoured to be holed up in a Baghdad suburb. But the report said the ex-president is in "questionable" mental health. Uday is the Coalition's fourth-most-wanted man. He is listed as the ace of hearts in the deck of playing cards depicting the 55 most-wanted suspects of the former Ba'ath Party regime. And he was the chief of Saddam's Fedayeen paramilitary guard, the Olympic chairman and a top member of the Iraqi national assembly. Before Tariq Aziz, Iraq's former deputy prime minister, surrendered, he told his family that Saddam's sons took around £1bn from Iraq's central bank. Ali Sharif, president of the Iraqi National Congress - an opposition group - has previously described Saddam's sons as "incredibly evil". "They take pleasure and murder just because that's their nature," he has said. **PHOTO CAPTION*** Saddam's eldest son Uday Hussein.(AFP/File)
