Baghdad - Saddam Hussein's capture is already reaping dividends for the U.S. military, providing intelligence that allowed American soldiers to capture several top regime figures and uncover rebel cells in the capital, a U.S. general said Monday. The U.S. military hopes Saddam will clear up allegations that he had chemical and biological weapons and a nuclear weapons program, said U.S. army Brig.-Gen. Mark Hertling of the 1st Armoured Division. "I certainly think some of that will come out," Hertling said in an interview with The Associated Press. "I think we'll get some significant intelligence over the next couple of days." London - There are many reasons to doubt the official verdict that the 1997 Paris car crash that killed Diana and her friend Dodi Fayed was an accident, lawyers representing Fayed's billionaire father Mohamed Al-Fayed said Monday. The Egyptian-born owner of Harrods department store in London maintains the crash was plotted by people who disapproved of Diana dating his son. A five-year investigation concluded that the driver Henri Paul, who was also killed, had been drinking and was speeding. Baghdad - Saddam Hussein could be tried "in the next few weeks" and could be executed if convicted, an Iraqi Governing Council member said Monday.
