built 233 days ago
On the more specific question of whether Saddam Hussein was behind the attacks of September 11, 2001, the consensus view is that there is no evidence of his government's involvement. On March 20, 2006, President Bush made clear that his Administration did not have any evidence of Saddam playing a role in those attacks.[11]

In November, 2006, Saddam Hussein was found guilty of 148 murders, and on December 30, 2006, he was put to death. The hanging, recorded by officials of the government, and secretly recorded by a member of the witnesses with a cell phone camera - with sound - showed Saddam being calm, as he was prepared for his final moments. Both witnesses and exectutioners could be heard teasing him as the rope was placed on his head, and he was put on the trap door. He was in the middle of a prayer, when the trap door beneath him opened, and his life ended. Later pictures and live video of Saddam's taunting and execution, of his dead corpse were shown on many internet sites.

The Iraqi government announced that Saddam Hussein would only answer to 12 cases of crimes against humanity among the more than 500 charges against him. Hussein’s defense lawyers claim that “all actions by him were just a way to prevent destabilization of the country,” but if found guilty of the 12 charges, the former dictator will surely receive the maximum sentence applicable. Despite the limited number of charges, those involved in the trials don’t believe they will end by Baghdad’s target date of December 2005. (Integrated Regional Information Networks)
