Two more former Iraqi officials to be hanged tomorrow

Wednesday, 3 January 2007

Iraqi officials are making preparations to hang another two members of Saddam Hussein's former regime.

Sources say former intelligence chief Barzen Ibrahim and former chief justice Awad Hamed al-Bandar will be hanged tomorrow.

Their pair were both convicted and sentenced to death along with Saddam in connection with the massacre of almost 150 Shi'ites in the town of Dujail in 1982.

News of the imminent hangings come as the US military denies any involvement in Saddam's execution on Saturday.

The hanging has been widely criticised following the leaking of footage showing the former Iraqi President being taunted by Shi'ite onlookers just moments before his death.

• Gritty, moving and heroic...Billy plays captured life here

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times ... Sunday's 30th anniversary screening of the seminal Too Late to Talk to Billy was riveting viewing. But it wasn't nostalgic viewing.

• Parties need better defence in Stormont's game of two halves

Surprise, surprise. Peter Robinson has been to his first gaelic match, Martin McGuinness is heading for Windsor Park and the Ulster Unionists have scored another own goal.

• Why trying to go on a diet is never really a piece of cake

Some people make New Year’s resolutions, I make lists. Every new year I determine to keep track of everything I spend and everything I eat and drink.

• Scary movie? Their jaws were sore from laughing

Teenage boys love horror films and I have two who are in charge of the remote control in our house, so naturally there’s gore-a-plenty on the box most weekends. However, until recently one film was banned.
