Iraqi TV says Saddam Hussein executed

By CHRISTOPHER TORCHIA and QASSIM ABDUL-ZAHRA
Associated Press Writers

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- Saddam Hussein, the shotgun-waving dictator who ruled Iraq with a remorseless brutality for a quarter-century and was driven from power by a U.S.-led war that left his country in shambles, was taken to the gallows and executed Saturday, Iraqi state-run television reported.

It was a grim end for the 69-year-old leader who had vexed three U.S. presidents. Despite his ouster, Washington, its allies and the new Iraqi leaders remain mired in a fight to quell a stubborn insurgency by Saddam loyalists and a vicious sectarian conflict.

Also hanged were Saddam's half-brother Barzan Ibrahim and Awad Hamed al-Bandar, the former chief justice of the Revolutionary Court.

State-run Iraqiya television news announcer said "criminal Saddam was hanged to death and the execution started with criminal Saddam then Barzan then Awad al-Bandar."

The station earlier was airing national songs after the first announcement and had a tag on the screen that read "with Saddam's execution marks the end of a dark period of Iraq's history."

A U.S. judge on Friday refused to stop Saddam's execution, rejecting a last-minute court challenge.

The execution came 56 days after a court convicted Saddam and sentenced him to death for his role in the killings of 148 Shiite Muslims from a town where assassins tried to kill the dictator in 1982. Iraq's highest court rejected Saddam's appeal Monday and ordered him executed within 30 days.

Saddam Hussein executed just before dawn

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Iraqi television and Arabic satellite TV have reported that Saddam Hussein had been executed by hanging just before 6am (0300 GMT) today.

His execution was held just hours after a U.S. judge refused to stop the hanging Friday, rejecting a last-minute court challenge by the former Iraqi president.

“Petitioner Hussein’s application for immediate, temporary stay of execution is denied,” U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly said after a hearing over the telephone with attorneys, AP reported.

Saddam’s lawyers filed the court challenge Friday afternoon, giving the judge just hours to act before the execution was expected to be carried out.

Saddam’s attorneys argued that because the former Iraqi president also faced a civil lawsuit in Washington, he had rights as a civil defendant that would be violated if he is executed. He has not received notice of those rights and the consequences that the lawsuit would have on his estate, his attorneys said.

Kollar-Kotelly said U.S. courts do not have jurisdiction to interfere in another country’s judicial process. The ruling can be appealed but was issued within an hour of the time Iraqi officials said they expected the execution to be carried out.

Finaly some dirt swept away from this earth!!!  :good

What is it going to take to get this kind of speedy justice here in the god o'l USofA??  We are supporting WAAYY to many dirt bags in our prison system that have taken a life and is still breathing.

Sory for the rant.  But our judicial system is so screwed up that those that need to face the music are still polluting our good air.
