As you know, Saddam Hussein was hanged recently (December 30, 2006 at around 6 A.M. in Baghdad, Iraq); and a video from a cell phone has emerged on the internet. The video taken is rather “grainy” and not done by a professional cameraman (the videographer moves around a lot). However, Saddam Hussein is definitely shown being hung.

Here’s a few links to the Saddam Hussein Execution by Hanging Full Video on December 30, 2006 at around 6 A.M. in Baghdad, Iraq.

There are several places to view the video, so I’ve done my best to add them and embed them in this post:

Netscape has the Saddam Hussein Hanging video that they’ve posted:

According to Yahoo, this is what happens when the people are yelling…..

Guard: “You have destroyed us! You have killed us! You have made us live in destitution!”

Saddam: “I have saved you from destitution and misery and destroyed your enemies, the Persian and Americans.”

Guard: “Goddamn you.”

Saddam: “Goddamn you.”

-Saddam, smileing, taunts the guards by saying “they were not showing manhood”-

Saddam: “I testify that there is no Ilah but Allah, and I testify that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. I testify that there is no Ilah but Allah, and I testify that Muhammad-”

-The floor drops when Saddam is mid way through the his second recitation of the Muslim prayer “Shahada”-

Guard: “The tyrant has fallen!”

Different Guard: “Let him swing for three minutes.”
