SADDAM Hussein will hang as the sun dawns over Iraq today, Iraqi officials
said, setting a dramatic end for a leader who ruled Iraq by fear for three
decades before a US invasion and his conviction for crimes against
humanity.

"They just called to tell me to be ready to attend the hanging at 5:30 am
(13:30 AEDT)," said a court official whose presence is demanded by law. The
execution was planned by 6 am, he added, although he did not know where it
would happen.

A senior politician in the Shi'ite Muslim majority behind Prime Minister
Nuri al-Maliki said he would also attend: "It will take place by 6am,"
Bahaa al-Araji said.
