SADDAM HUSSEIN EXECUTED
Saturday, December 30, 2006
2006 comes to an end with the death of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. Around 10 last night, American military guards handed him over to his Iraqi executioners. He reportedly remained calm during his final moments, holding on to the Quran and refusing to have a hood pulled over his head before he was hanged. Saddam's execution came 56 days after he was convicted of killing 148 Shiite Muslims. Iraq's highest court rejected his appeal on Monday and ordered him executed within 30 days. President Bush issued a statement saying, that bringing Saddam to justice "is an important milestone on Iraq's course to becoming a democracy that can govern, sustain and defend itself, and be an ally in the war on terror."
