IRAQ-EXECUTION-SADDAM-VIDEO

An image grab from a mobile phone video obtained by AFP 31 December 2006 appears to show Saddam Hussein's head in the noose just prior to his execution in Baghdad early 30 December 2006. In the video footage of the hanging, which spread across the Internet today, the ousted Iraqi leader drops through the metal trapdoor his last prayer is caught short: "There is no God but God, and Mohammed is his prophet."
