Soldiers Attacked As Saddam's Sons Buried

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Leaders of Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s tribe buried the ousted dictator's sons, Odai and Qusai, and a grandson Saturday, their bodies wrapped in Iraqi flags in a sign the family considered them to be martyrs.

Shortly afterward there were three remote-controlled bomb explosions targeting passing American convoys and two U.S. soldiers were injured.

American forces had stood by at a distance as the bodies were buried in the stony soil of in the suburban village of al-Uja, where Saddam was born. It was not immediately clear if the American forces that came under attack had played any role in keeping a distant cordon around the funeral. snip

Buried with them was 14-year-old Mustafa Hussein, Qusai's son, who also was killed in a fierce gunbattle with U.S. troops July 22 in Mosul, the northernmost Iraqi big city.

3. I doubt religious muslims view...
Them as martyrs. Martyrdom implies that the person was devoutly religious. These guys smoked, drank, slept around and looted their country. I seriously doubt the clerics view them as martyrs. I don't think the very devout clerics believe they're dead, but neither do I really.
