BAGHDAD, Iraq - The second clandestine video from
<http://search.news.yahoo.com/search/news/?p=Saddam+Hussein>Saddam
Hussein's execution appeared on the Internet Tuesday, showing the deposed
Iraqi leader's corpse, with a gaping neck wound, after his hanging.
The video appeared to have been taken with a camera phone, like the graphic
video of the hanging which showed guards taunting Saddam in the final
moments of his life.
The footage pans up the shrouded body of the former leader from the feet.
It apparently was taken shortly after Saddam was executed and placed on a
gurney. He was hanged shortly before dawn on Dec. 30.
As the panning shot reaches the head region, the white shroud is pulled
back and reveals Saddam's head and neck.
His head is unnaturally twisted at a 90 degree angle to his right. It shows
a gaping bloody wound, circular in shape, about an inch below his jaw line
on the left side of his neck. His left cheek is marked with red blotches,
and there is blood on the shroud where it covered his head.
The newest video leak was likely to increase the angry reaction over the
way the execution was carried out. There already has been a global outcry
about the undignified manner in which the Shiite-dominated government
hanged Saddam, a Sunni.
The 27-second video was posted on an Iraqi news Web site that is known to
support Saddam's outlawed Baath Party.
"A new film of the late immortal martyr, President Saddam Hussein," the web
site said in a headline over a link to the video.
Voices could be heard on the video. As the shroud is pulled back, one voice
says, "Hurry up, hurry up. I'm going to count from one to four. One, two
... . Hurry up you're going to get us into a catastrophe."
Then another voice, apparently the man taking the pictures, says, "Just one
second, just one second, Abu Ali. I'm about finished."
Then a third voice says, "Abu Ali, you take care of this."
It was the second clandestine video to have leaked, the first showing
Saddam being taunted in his final moments. That clandestine video showed
the former leader dropping through the gallows floor as he offered chanted
prayers. It ends with his dead body swinging at the end of a rope.
The hanging video was in sharp contrast with an official video that was
broadcast not long after Saddam's execution which showed him standing
silently on the gallows as the noose was put around his neck. The official
video was muted.
The leaked hanging video, however, was shot from the floor of the gallows
chamber, looking up at Saddam. Voices could be heard taunting him with
cries of "Muqtada, Muqtada, Muqtada," referring to radical anti-American
cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, the leader of the Shiite Mahdi Army militia and a
key support of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
The prime minister pushed for Saddam to be executed before the end of 2006
and just four days after the death sentence was upheld by the appeals
court. U.S. official sought to delay the execution.

Fresh Saddam pictures 'released'

More images allegedly showing Saddam Hussein's body in the immediate
aftermath of his execution have been posted on the Internet
The new video reportedly shows the former Iraqi dictator with a gaping neck
wound.
Meanwhile, a man alleged to have shouted sectarian abuse at Saddam moments
before he was hanged last month has been referred to the Iraqi judicial
authorities.
Iraqi government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said it was now up to the courts
to deal with the man.
The new 27-second video was posted on an Iraqi news website that is known
to support Saddam's outlawed Ba'ath Party.
"A new film of the late immortal martyr, President Saddam Hussein," the
video link said.
Voices could be heard on the video. As the shroud is pulled back, one voice
says, "Hurry up, hurry up. I'm going to count from one to four. One, two
... . Hurry up you're going to get us into a catastrophe."
Then another voice, apparently the man taking the pictures, says, "just one
second, just one second, Abu Ali. I'm about finished."
The release of yet more images of Saddam's final moments is likely to
intensify outrage at the manner in which his execution was carried out.
