Saddam Hussein was captured by U.S. forces on December 13, 2003. He was found hiding in a small underground hideout near Tikrit, Iraq, during a military operation known as "Operation Red Dawn." The operation involved intelligence from local informants and resulted in his arrest without a fight. His capture marked a significant moment in the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.
