​'I was one of three in a group tasked to find Saddam. We were given a day and time to view his location. I saw Tikrit and a compound. One lady had much the same. 3rd lady saw him in a hole in the ground hiding under pottery. We were congratulated and told this was HUGE success.'

Clairvoyant led Americans to Saddam, says Geller

HERZLIYA, Israel (Reuters) - Did a clairvoyant help U.S. commandos ferret Saddam Hussein out of his hiding place in Iraq three years ago?

Israeli-born celebrity psychic Uri Geller, best known for his spoon-bending antics, says the power of the paranormal led U.S. troops to the fugitive Iraqi ex-dictator.

'You remember when they found Saddam Hussein in Iraq? A solider walked over to a rug, lifted it and then found a trap-door and found him in there,' Geller told Reuters.

'Well, I know that that soldier walked over to that rug because he got information from a "remote viewer" from the United States'.

Geller, who says he worked for the Central Intelligence Agency during the Cold War, said his information came from a high-level source involved in U.S. paranormal programmes.

A U.S. military spokesman in Iraq had made no immediate comment. At the time of his capture, U.S. commanders said a source close to the fugitive had given him up under interrogation.

A Brazilian psychic tried last year to claim a $25 million bounty offered for Saddam's capture, saying he had described the hiding place in letters to the U.S. government.
