Former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein was hanged in Iraq before dawn Saturday for crimes he committed during his reign. Al-Iraqiya state television aired videotape of Hussein’s final moments several hours after his death. Video of what appears to be Hussein’s body aired later in the day.
Hussein’s hanging was timed to happen just before sunrise in Baghdad, when the holiday period of Eid Al-Adha would begin, said Mowaffak al-Rubaie, Iraq’s national security adviser. At about 5:30 a.m., coalition forces brought Saddam Hussein to the execution site and turned him over to Iraqi officials. No coalition personnel were present after custody of Hussein was transferred to the Iraqis.
Hussein was taken into a room with a judge, doctor and other officials. He was handcuffed and holding a copy of the Quran. The judge read Hussein the sentence. Hussein was taken next door to the execution chamber. A heated argument with the Shiite Iraqi security officers took place after one of the executioners told Hussein that he had destroyed Iraq, according to Judge Munir Haddad, a witness to the execution. Hussein praised the mujahedeen and jihadists, and cursed Persians and the Western world. He refused to wear a head covering.
As the noose was tightened around Hussein’s neck, one of the executioners yelled, “long live Muqtada al-Sadr”. Hussein mockingly uttered one last phrase before he died: “Muqtada al-Sadr”. An executioner read from the Quran and then carried out the hanging. Hussein died “very, very quickly” just after 6 a.m. Hussein’s body was left hanging for about 10 minutes before a doctor confirmed his death. He was then untied and placed in a body bag.

I dragged my brother to IKEA today so that I could look at sofa bed’s and some book shelves for my new apartment. I found at least 10 things I want, so I wrote them down and called mom to tell her
Anyway, my brother was in a totally bad mood so to cheer him up, I told him I’d buy him a hotdog and at 50p each, how could I refuse!
I got 2 large hot dogs and cokes for £2.00 which is like :shock:
The hotdog was moist, the bread was soft and fluffy as I like it… however the more I chewed, the more harder it became to eat. Not because it wasn’t delicious (I loved it!) but the outer skin of the hotdog was a teenie bit hard (I’m not sure what it’s called) and then as I was biting my gum started bleeding lol
For the price it was amazing, I will have another one again next time I go, next week :woot:, I’ll just be picky about which one I choose

Christmas 2006 is officially over I’ve had my turkey rations for the year… I pigged out beyond belief and I got tons of gifts and am still expecting some more from my parents I got 3 camera lenses and filters from my daddy along with a new external hard drive that I wanted, a printer from juju, money from my grandfather, clothes and perfume from mama, chocolate from my mom’s youngest sister, and nothing from my brother I’m recieving Sou’s gift tomorrow from Amazon
So I woke up at 11am, gave my grandfather his gifts and said Merry Christmas. My daddy then called and spoke for ages, the passed the phone to my mom who said the usual Christmas greetings. My mom’s sister in who lives in London then called to wish my grandfather a Merry Christmas, then my cousins called… and so on until the entire family called lol
After my grandfather unwrapped all his gifts, it was time for little Chewy to open his gifts since it was his 1st ever Christmas. Doggy Claus was good to him, he got a santa football, and 3 packets of different doggy chews to eat. He was one lucky puppy and spent the whole day playing with his new toy and munching on 6 of the chews! He was just as greedy as the rest of us :lmao:

Lewis’ debut single pre-sold 1,000,000 copies making it an almost certain number one before it’s even been released. I even bought her single because I think she’s amazing!
& yes I’m obsessed! Hence why I’ve created a Leona Lewis category within the blog!
I like the video, it shows her journey from the start to the finish and where she will end up! A global superstar!
Note: She won 60% of the 8million votes cast
Update: New video uploaded as previous was taken off you tube
Ananyah is the alter ego of Michelle, who grew up in Singapore and Kuwait but is technically Scottish even if the accent isn't there! She now divides her time between Glasgow & Paris and could quite happily eat herself to death with macarons à la pistache, cupcakes, diet coke, starbucks & tarte aux fraise <3
Working in the IT Industry, she likes to think of herself as a geekette with a handbag fetish along with being addicted to taking the most random photos, cooking her ass off & drooling over shiny gadgets *swoon*
