SADDAM´S EXECUTION TEAM

Film has been uncovered showing Saddam Hussein´s
security police attaching explosives to three men,
then blowing them up.

The undated footage, believed to be from the
1980s, shows men in the uniforms of Iraqi security
officers strapping what appears to be explosives
to one of the blindfolded men.


Wires were then attached to a large vehicle
battery in the Iraqi desert.

"You´re going to kill me, you´re going to kill me
even if I confess," wails the man, apparently
accused of being an Iranian agent at the height of
the Iran-Iraq war.

The man waits for death and a few seconds later,
he disappears in a cloud of smoke and dust.

In the next shot, bloodied remains lie in the
sand.

The next man is brought up to the same spot and
made to kneel. He, too, appears to be blown up,
followed by the third.

The executions were captured on film obtained by
the Reuters news agency.



Saddam´s officers then blow him up





It begins with uniformed Iraqi army officers and
what appear to be intelligence officials in
civilian clothes descending from a bus in the
desert with the condemned men.

An Iraqi army major reads out a court ruling which
says the three men are Iranian agents.

It says they killed several children and a
university student when they put a hand grenade
into a packet of baby milk in a Baghdad square in
December, 1984.

A military intelligence officer declares that, by
presidential decree, "the Revolutionary Court
dated February 12, 1985, case number 180, has
ordered the death by hanging" of the three.

But they were not hanged. The Iraqi officials
applaud politely when the officer states who
signed the death warrant: "Saddam Hussein, the
President."

Saddam´s security police were convicted of a 1985
bomb attack that killed children in Baghdad.
