In Oz we were told that it was a house in the
Al Mansour (upmarket) disctrict & that 4 JDAM 2000lb bombs were dropped in succession.
These JDAMs are *not* bunker busting bombs.
One story is that it was Saddam & other senior Iraqi officials gathering for a meeting and that the house concealed an underground bunker.
Other reports speak of SH being in a restaurant in the district at 2pm on Mon when it was hit.
Of course this is early words - also we keep hearing that US authorities are highly optomistic that the bombing achieved its goal.
