Saddam Hussein has been executed for crimes against humanity, Iraqi officials claim.

Hung just before 3am British time, they added that the former Iraqi dictator put up no resistance and asked for his Koran to be passed on to someone.

Saddam was said to be in a defiant mood on the gallows and refused to wear a hood.

Before being executed he is alleged to have shouted: 'God is great. Or so the official story goes.

However this website is extremely sceptical, the reason being that we don’t believe that the man tried and executed was in fact Saddam Hussein but one of his doubles, if indeed an execution even took place.

Outlandish as this may sound, the evidence for this claim is substantial and convincing. See the links below:
