On
Dec. 30, 2006, former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein was executed at the headquarters of his former military intelligence

Iraqi officials with the support of the United States. "He was
frightened,” Mowaffak al-Rubaie, Iraq's national security adviser, told The Washington Post. Hussein is pictured in this screen grab from
