CAROL COSTELLO, CNN ANCHOR: On to the bizarre now. Have you heard what they found on the bodies of Uday and Qusay Hussein? It is certainly not what you would expect.
Eli Flournoy, our senior international editor, is here with the list.
ELI FLOURNOY, CNN SENIOR INTERNATIONAL EDITOR: That's right, Carol. A "Newsweek" article in their August 4 edition has some fascinating details about the capture and killing of Uday and Qusay Saddam Hussein. And they found a couple of briefcases there with the bodies, and in them were some interesting things, as you can see there, painkillers, cologne, Viagra, a condom in there. They also found with them $100 million in dinars and U.S. dollars, in addition to two ladies' purses. Not sure why they had all of these items.
COSTELLO: Yes, why two ladies' purses? And the purses were found inside the briefcases.
FLOURNOY: Inside the briefcases. Not sure whose purses those were or what they were for.
Also, further into the article there is some very interesting detail about the man who owned the house where they were found, who turned them in, Nawaf al-Zaidan, and he is going to be one very rich man that's getting -- it looks like he is going to get the full 30 million -- $15 million for each of the two, Uday and Qusay Saddam Hussein.
And interesting today, we just got word that the U.S. military is demolishing that house where the two were killed, and they're doing some forensic evidence there, and in other places, as we've heard. Harris Whitbeck reporting on the searches for Saddam Hussein in places where they believe he was prior to when the U.S. military got there. They're doing some DNA forensic evidence gathering, hoping to gain more clues ultimately towards the search for Saddam Hussein.
COSTELLO: I'm still getting over what was found in the briefcase -- Viagra, a condom, a silk tie.
FLOURNOY: Yes.
COSTELLO: I mean, were they expecting to go on a few dates?
FLOURNOY: That's quite a list.
COSTELLO: Yes. FLOURNOY: They had several unopened packages of men's underwear. They were ready. They were prepared. You know, just as your mother tells you, always have clean underwear. When you're running from the U.S. military, you know, it's always a good idea.
COSTELLO: Said in a very tongue-in-cheek way. Eli Flournoy, appreciate it.
