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.

So hopefully for Busha nd Blair and all the trangressors to be warned,in the end the fire awaits you.

i wanted to start another thread but then thought i'll ask in here and see if anyone knows. just wondering, what does sharia law say about execution, is there execution at all under sharia law?
The more you give, the more you get.
The more you laugh, the less you fret.
The more you do unselfishly,
The more you live abundantly.
The more of everything you share,
The more you'll always have to spare.
Well he deserved his punishment, but there others who aren't any less deserving. they deserve it more actually...the sad thing is that its on Eid . How sad....
*Without Allah, without Islam, life would be meaningless. If I've ever learned patience, it's because of this. Alhamdulillah...*

I thought I read it will be done late Saturday. Isn't Eid on sunday?
I was just watching the AlJazeera news in english and they said that the execution of Saddam will be like a sacrifice and that on the first day of Eid. This is heart-breaking. http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exer...B937B1B7B4.htm
