- snypher 23d agoProbably didn't happen. Here's some material detailing that day; https://www.dawn.com/news/amp/589198 https://www.dawn.com/news/amp/589198
- onlypassingthru 23d agoThere's at least one cell phone video from the execution.[0] This video was offensive to the US administration for many reasons, so any immediate reporting of it and other unsavory behavior at the hanging was quickly squashed in the US media. But again, IIRC from 20 years ago, the videographer wasn't the only one using a cell phone at the event.

- dh2022 23d agoThe article you linked doesn’t mention that Saddam answered a call right before his execution… which is what you implied earlier
- onlypassingthru 23d agoDoes the execution video show anybody holding a phone up to Saddam?
