STORYLINE

The hunt for Saddam Hussein and senior members of his regime continued on Wednesday as US soldiers patrolled the streets of Tikrit.

There were no house raids, but suspects were stopped in the street, questioned and then released.

APTN filmed soldiers from the 1st battalion of 22nd Infantry of the 4th Infantry Division on patrol at night.

Soldiers from this division recently arrested several members of Saddam's bodyguard.

According to US authorities, the 4th Infantry Division will continue to patrol the streets of Tikrit, a notorious stronghold of Saddam loyalists.

During the day, meanwhile, the 502 Engineering company patrolled the Tigris river.

The company is based in one of Saddam's palaces along the river.

The patrols are aimed at making sure loyalist forces do not use the waterways for smuggling or transport.
