WHO WAS SADDAM HUSSEIN IN A NUTSHELL ? Saddam Hussein was executed 15 days before the Americans had actually planned on December 30, 2003. A senior Iraqi official who was involved in the events leading to Saddam's death was quoted as saying: After the physical control of Saddam was given to the Iraqi government the America Inc had absolutely no direct involvement with his execution. Reports suggest that Saddam's behavior was ``submissive.'' He carried the copy of Holy Quran which remained with him throughout the trial. Al-Rubiae, who was a witness to Saddam's execution, described Saddam as repeatedly shouting "down with Persians and the Americans."- He also reportedly asked Saddam if he had any remorse or fear, to which Saddam replied: ``I am not a militant and I have no fear for myself. I have spent my life in jihad fighting aggression. Anyone who takes this route should not be afraid.'' A witness to the execution, said, "Before the rope was put around his neck, Saddam shouted, 'Allah-u-Akbar. He also stressed that the Iraqis should fight the Americans and the Persians. After the rope was secured, guards shouted various rebukes including "Muqtada! Muqtada! Muqtada!" and Saddam repeated the name mockingly
and rebuked the shouts stating, "Do you consider this bravery?'' A Shia version of an Islamic prayer was also recited by some of those present in the room, an apparent sectarian insult against the Sunni Saddam. One observer told Saddam: "Go to hell!" Saddam replied: "The hell that is Iraq?"Another man asked for quiet, saying:`` Please, stop. The man is facing an execution." Saddam began to recite the Shahada again. As he neared the end of his second recitation, the platform dropped. After the drop there was an audible crack indicating that his neck was broken. After that Saddam was suspended for a few minutes, the doctor present listened to his heartbeat with a stethoscope . After he detected none, the rope was cut, and his body was placed in a coffin.
