Mantan pemimpin Irak itu dihukum mati Sabtu pagi di Baghdad, empat hari setelah satu pengadilan mengukuhkan vonis mati yang dijatuhkan setelah Saddam Hussein dinyatakan bersalah atas pembunuhan warga Syiah di kota Dujail, Irak, pada 1982.
The former Iraqi leader was executed early Saturday morning in Baghdad four days after an Iraqi court upheld the death sentence handed down after Saddam was convicted for the 1982 massacre in the Iraqi city of Dujail.
