An American soldier ties a rope around a statue of Saddam Hussein shortly after the fall of Baghdad in April 2003 (Peter Nicholls)

 From see-dubya :

Word just in from al-Arabiya that Saddam Hussein al-Tikriti is dead.  Al-Hurra is reporting it too. Al-Hurra’s the American-backed Arab station, FYI, so their sources here are probably trustworthy. HuffPo “celebrates.”  Al-Arabiya (via Fox) says  photographers and cameramen were on the scene.

Iraqi-Americans cheer reports of Saddam’s execution

The AP Has this:

Najeeb al-Nueimi, a member of Saddam’s legal team in Doha, Qatar, said he too requested a final meeting with the deposed Iraqi leader. “His daughter in Amman was crying, she said, ‘Take me with you,’” al-Nueimi said late Friday. But he said their request was rejected.

Also to be hanged were Saddam’s half-brother Barzan Ibrahim and Awad Hamed al-Bandar, the former chief justice of the Revolutionary Court, the adviser said.

    The Dead Dictator: Saddam Hussein
