Former Dictator of Iraq, Saddam Hussein just got hanged! The official report is that the hanging was videotaped. Here at SaddamHangingVideos.com we have scoured the web to find the first copy when it is leaked to the public.
Saddam Hussein was hanged on December 30, 2006 at 06:07 local time (03:07 GMT time). The execution took place at the secure facility Camp Justice northeast of Baghdad, a security base once used by Saddam. CNN reported that celebrations broke out at the execution location after Saddam was dead, and that people were "dancing around the body". Contrary to initial reports, Saddam was executed alone, and not at the same time as his co-defendants Barzan Ibrahim al-Tikriti and Awad Hamed al-Bandar, who will be executed after the Eid ul-Adha holiday.
At the time of his hanging, Saddam showed one more act of defiance by refusing to wear a mask. One witness described him as a 'broken and weak man', others argued that he was calm and controlled. Before he was hanged an Islamic prayer was read out to him and he repeated it.
The execution was filmed and subsequently shown on Iraqi TV shortly after the event. Despite this however, countries such as the United Kingdom are unable to broadcast the execution due to national television restrictions, which deem the event "inappropriate" to broadcast. -Wikipedia "Saddam Hussein"
