Saddam Hussein Sentenced to Death by Hanging


Today Saddam Hussein has been executed by Hanging. In the almost four years since a US-led invasion drove Saddam from office, the oil-rich Middle Eastern nation has been engulfed in a rising tide of violence between warring political and sectarian factions. On November 5, when Saddam was convicted of crimes against humanity and sentenced to death, protests erupted in some parts of Iraq and authorities declared a three day curfew to prevent attacks by Sunni insurgents.
