Bombing

So near the end of this last Iraq war, the U.S. unleashed a gaggle of bombs on a restaurant in a relatively swanky section of Baghdad based on information that Saddam Hussein was meeting members of his government in a bunker there. Due to the devastation and the lack of U.S. control over the area at the time, news reports stated that it would be weeks before we knew if Saddam was hit there or not.

In the month since we gained control over that area, we haven't heard anything of the wreckage combing. My question is, what happened there? Did we dispatch a crew there after we took control? Did we just not find Saddam's remains and so we are just letting the incident die quietly?
