Saddam Hussein has passed away (Dec. 30, 2006). The former dictator, Saddam Hussein, was taken to the gallows and executed. On the gallows, Saddam refused to wear a hood and shouted: “God is great. The nation will be victorious and Palestine is Arab.”
State-run Iraqiya television news reported that Saddam’s half-brother Barzan Ibrahim and Awad Hamed al-Bandar, the former chief justice of the Revolutionary Court, also were hanged. However, three officials said only Saddam was executed.
According to National Security adviser, Mouwafak al-Rubaie, told state-run Iraqiyah, “We wanted him to be executed on a special day.”
Al-Rubaie said that Saddam “totally surrendered” and did not resist. Al-Rubaie said that a judge read the sentence to Saddam, who was taken in handcuffs to the execution room. When he stood in the execution room, photographs and video footage were taken.
According to witnesses, Saddam refused to cover his head with a bag before his hanging.
