Execution of Saddam Hussein

"Once, my son, Uday, fired indiscriminately at a party and killed many people. I burned his Rolls-Royces, Ferraris and Porsches after the incident," the former Iraqi emperor told his guards. When the American soldiers captured him on December 13, 2003, he said: "I'm Saddam Hussein, the Iraqi President."

Not one billboard was saved. Gigantic posters with "President Erdo?an is honoring our city" inscribed in bold letters decorated the entire city.

Executed former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein's Sunni tribal allies moved his body from a family plot eight months ago, fearful that Shi'ite militias would harm it, a tribal leader told Reuters on Wednesday.
