Saddam to be executed tomorrow
Dec 29 2006

Saddam Hussein remained in American custody today as news reports said a defence lawyer had claimed the deposed Iraqi leader was to be executed tomorrow.
Yesterday, Saddam’s half brothers visited him in his Baghdad jail cell, Iraqi officials said.
The meeting with his relatives could indicate the deposed leader’s execution was approaching, but he must also be transferred to Iraqi custody first - something officials today said had yet to occur.
Iraq’s prime minister said those who opposed the execution of Saddam were insulting the honour of his dead victims.
"Our respect for human rights requires us to execute him, and there will be no review or delay in carrying out the sentence," Prime Minister Nouri Maliki said in comments released by his office.
"Those who reject the execution of Saddam are insulting the souls of the martyrs of Iraq," Maliki’s office quoted him as saying. He made the remarks in a meeting with families of people who died during Saddam’s rule.
On Tuesday, an Iraqi appeals court upheld Saddam’s death sentence for the killing of 148 people who were detained after an attempt to assassinate him in the northern Iraqi city of Dujail in 1982. The court said the former president should be hanged within 30 days.
