    Hanging of Saddam's aides filmed

    Barzan Ibrahim

    Iraqi officials said Barzan's beheading was an accident

    Iraqi government officials have shown journalists video of the hanging of two of Saddam Hussein's aides, during which one of the men was decapitated.

     

    The film shows Barzan Ibrahim - Saddam Hussein's half-brother - and Awad Hamed al-Bandar hanged side-by-side.

     

    Barzan, former intelligence chief, and al-Bandar, former head of Iraq's Revolutionary Court, were convicted over the killing of 148 Shias in 1982.

     

     

    The BBC's Andrew North in Baghdad says the video first shows both men being prepared for execution standing next to each other.

     

    They were both dressed in orange boiler suits.

     

     

    Executioners in balaclavas placed hoods round both men's heads, then the noose.

     

    A short while later the footage, which is silent, shows both men fall.

     

    Almost immediately the rope that was round Barzan's neck flicks upwards, the body dropping below.

     

    The cameraman then shows the pit below and a headless body, bloodied at the neck and what officials say was Barzan's head still covered by a hood.

     

    Al-Bandar's body was still hanging above, said one official who was present at the execution.

     

    Our correspondent says officials say they are not planning to release the footage publicly.

     

    Both men's bodies are reported to have been flown to Saddam Hussein's home town of Tikrit, 180 km (110 miles) north of Baghdad, for burial.

     

    'No taunts'

     

    Witnesses said Barzan and al-Bandar were shaking with fear as they approached the gallows.

     

    One of those present, public prosecutor Jaafar al-Moussawi, told the BBC that when the trap door opened, he could only see Barzan's rope dangling.

     

     

    Executed judge's case

    Obituary: Barzan al-Tikriti

    "I thought the convict Barzan Ibrahim al-Tikriti had escaped the noose. I shouted that he's escaped the noose, go down and look for him. I went down a few steps ahead of the others to see: I found out that his head had separated from his body."

     

    The hangings took place at 0300 (0000 GMT), apparently in the same building in north Baghdad where Saddam Hussein was put to death on 30 December.

     

    The manner of the former Iraqi leader's execution drew international criticism after unofficial mobile phone footage showing him being taunted and insulted in his final moments was released.

     

    Government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said there were no such scenes at the hanging of his aides.

     

    Mixed reaction

     

    The BBC's world affairs correspondent Mike Wooldridge says reaction in Baghdad to Barzan and al-Bandar's executions has been mixed.

     

    He says residents of Baghdad's largest Shia district, Sadr City, have celebrated the latest hangings, especially Barzan's.

     

    But other Baghdad residents have said the executions have nothing to do with the problems Iraqis face every day, our correspondent adds.

     

    In the Shia holy city of Najaf, residents beat drums and marched in the streets at news of the executions.

     

    Speaking on a visit to Egypt, US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said while the executions were an Iraqi process, "we were disappointed there was not greater dignity given to the accused under these circumstances".

     

    The UK prime minister's spokesman said it was "clearly wrong" if the executions had not been carried out in a dignified way.

     

    Others called for the Iraqi authorities to end further executions and focus on national reconciliation

    What's point of having good looking patner if both of you have to ignore each other in public. I say hell with the Somali thing, hold on him like any another accessory.

    No, this is not news clip from da motherland, but rather a little story that might have us an insight into the Somali mindset. You all have heard tales of the canning and conniving Dawaco that outsmarts of all reer Dugaag exception being the Libaax who it fears. What exactly are the Moral of these Dawaco stories,and what are young kids suppose to learn from them. Here is one such tale about the Dawaco and Dhurwaa (Waraabe).

     

    WARAABE IYO DAWACO

     

    Bari ayaa dawaco adhi fara badan ka cuni jirtay reero meel deggan. Adhigaas oo riyo iyo idaba lahaa. Maalin danbe ayaa dadkii meel isugu yimaadeen waxaaney ka wada hadleen sidii ay dawacadaa dhibta badan iskaga dili lahaayeen. Waxay dadkii talo ku gaadheen in dabin loo dhigo dawacada. Dawacadii waxay ku dhacday dabinkii loo dhigay. Dadkii waxay ku xidheen dawacadii geed jiridiis, si looga aarsado oo waxaa talo lagu gaadhey in dab lagu dhex rido.

     

    Dadkii waxay soo gureen qoryo xaabo ah oo aad u badan. Waxay xaabadii ka buuxsheen god aad u weyn oo ay ka qodeen geedkii ay dawacadu ku xidhnayd agtiisa. Markaas ayey xaabadii dab ku huriyeen waxayna yidhaahdeen, "Aan iska tagno, oo marka dabku uu aad u shidmo ku soo noqonno oo dawacada ku dhex ridno." Waraabe aad u gaajaysan ayaa wuxuu maqlay cidii dawacada. Markaas ayuu soo orday oo is yidhi, aad ka eryatid neefka ay dilootey maanta, waraabihii wuxuu u yimi dawacadii xidhneyd.

     

    Intuu yaabey ayuu ku yidhi, "Naa dawaco yaa geedka kugu xidh-xidhay?" Markaas ayey dawacadii tidhi, "Waxa igu xidhay adeerkay." Waraabihii (Dhurwaa) ayaa hadana yidhi, "Oo muxuu kuu xidhay?" Dawacadii ayaa tidhi, "Adeerkay aad buu ii jicelyahay." Wuxuu arkay in aan caato ahay markaa wuxuu ii qalay wan weyn oo aad u buuran. Dabkaasna wankaas ayaa lagu karin doonaa. Aniguna waan diidanahay in aan cuno wankaas buuran, waayo gaajo ima hayso oo maalmahan oo dhan ayaan hilib cunayey, oo waxaan ka cabsanayaa inaan calool xanuun ka qaado. Markii aan damcay in aan ka tagana, intuu i soo qabtay ayuu geedkan igu xidhay. Markaan hilibkii cuni kari waayeyna wuu i diley.

     

    Waraabihii ayaa intuu afka aad u kala qabtay illeen waa wax hilib iyo baruur jecele yidhi, "Ihi! ihi! ihi! aniga ayaa xariga kaa furaya ee aniga geedka igu xidh, si aan anigu u cuno hilibkaas adiguna uga nabad gasho." Markii dadkii ku soo noqdeen meeshii dawacadu ku xidhnayd, si ay dabka ugu dhex tuuraan, waxay u yimaaddeen waraabe ku xidhan geedkii. Dadkii ayaa intey yaabeen yidhi, "War Waraabe meeday dawacadii?" Markaas ayuu waraabihii yidhi, "aniga ayaa xarigii ka furay oo way tagtay."

     

    Dadkii ayaa yidhi, "Oo maxaad uga furtay?" Waraabihii wuxuu yidhi, "waxay i tidhi dawacadii aniga gaajo ima hayso, ee hilibka la ii keeni lahaa adigu cun." Markaas ayey dadkii isagii dabkii ku tuureen. Sidaas ayaa waraabihii isku darsaday hunguri xumada iyo doqonnimada ku dhintay.

    Hayam....Caadi kuu dhacayaa, confront him. Luckly, I never had a racist teacher, but co-workers yes. The best to deal with them atleast in my case is to show that you are not afraid, and that you understand and know your rights.And also make sure that you fullfill your job's requiremnts.

     

     

    Racists thrive on three things,

     

    Fear

    Lack of Aweraness as it relates to your rights

    Lack of knowledge regarding the task at hand.

     

    Obviously, you do your schoool work well, know your rights as student, and hopefully not feeling intimidated by him. So gave after him.

    My bad...I was confusing him withMorales of Bolivia, part of new wave of leftist regimes. I wonder if Morales is related to Tupac Katari's people who lead one of rebellions in Latin America. True, Simon is much older.

     

    Castro is old, but without Che, it would have been difficult. Pancho was very fav revolutionary though.
