Diagram of the spider hole were former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein was found hiding December 13th 2003



1. Inside the hut, Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez called the area where Saddam was found a "spider-hole." It was between 6 to 8 feet deep and covered by fabric and dirt.



2. A small fridge contained a few Bounty candy bars, some hot dogs and a can of 7-UP. There was old bread on a counter, leftover rice in a pot and dirty dishes in the sink. On a shelf above the gas stove, there was soap, a canister of coffee, mouthwash, a mirror and two Mars candy bars.



3. Dirty laundry, including gray trousers and a towel, hung from a clothesline above a bed covered with a floral blanket. A poster depicting Noah's Ark was tacked to the wall near a second bed which appeared unused.



A box on the floor contained a long, black Arab robe; two new, white men's T-shirts and two pairs of white cotton boxer shorts. Black moccasins and a pair of slippers with gold-colored buckles were shoved against the wall. There were old textbooks on the floor.



4. Troops had found a white cloth concealing the underground room Saddam was in. Beneath the cloth was a piece of styrofoam with two wire handles that was painted to look like concrete.



5. Next to a date tree beside the hole was a tin exhaust pipe that served as the hole's ventilation duct. Drying salamis and figs were hung on the pipe to help disguise it.



6. U.S. soldiers searching for Saddam at the farm found a small walled compound with a metal lean-to and a mud hut.



7. Saddam was found in a narrow crawl space branching off the tunnel. He was carrying a pistol.
