MILES O'BRIEN, CNN ANCHOR (voice-over): 6:25 a.m.: Matthew Fisher, a correspondent for the "National Post" of Canada reports from Tikrit that the city is calm after an assault by Marines early this morning.

11:41 a.m.: "TIME" magazine's Michael Ware reports the people of Tikrit are saying Saddam's family left the city three days ago, well before the Americans arrived. Saddam's clan is said to have left for a small village in the desert.

Each of the structures 20 by 20 feet. The military also found over 1,000 pounds of documents buried at the site. U.S. inspections will continue there.
