Saddam Likely to Be Hanged Before New Year, U.S. Military Officials Say
Khalil al-Dulaimi, Saddam Hussein's chief lawyer, told FOX News that U.S. officials have called him and asked to pick up Saddam's personal effects.
Deputy justice minister Busho Ibrahim has disputed claims that Hussein has been handed over to the Iraqi authorities
The Iraqi government is "anxious to get Saddam's execution done" and that it is likely to be carried out before the New Year perhaps even within the next 24 hours, a U.S. military official said.
This official said American forces are now in the process of finalizing the former Iraqi dictator's transfer to Iraqi custody and to the location where he would be executed. Several U.S. officials said they are not ruling out the possibility that Saddam will be put to death as early as Friday.
