Saddam Hussein Executed


This image, copyright owner unknown, obtained by the Associated Press from an Arab language web site and seemingly shot on a camera phone appears to show former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein hanging on a noose after being executed in Baghdad early Saturday, Dec. 30, 2006. Iraq's prime minister ordered an investigation Tuesday, Jan. 2, 2007 into Saddam Hussein's execution to try to uncover who taunted the former dictator in the last minutes of his life, and who leaked inflammatory footage taken by camera phone of the hanging. The unofficial video, on which at least one person is heard shouting 'To hell!' at the deposed president and Saddam is heard exchanging insults with his executioners, dealt a blow to Iraq's efforts to prove it was a neutral enforcer of the law.
