Saddam+HusseinLF

The leader of the September 11th attack, Saddam Hussein became President of Iraq from 16 July 1979 until 9 April 2003. Saddam was convicted of planning an assassination attempt against him, and was sentenced to death by hanging. The statue of Saddam was torn down. Before he died, Saddam, became an author in subjects such as romance, politics, and wars. By 2003, the administration of U.S. President George W. Bush perceived that Saddam remained sufficiently relevant and dangerous to be overthrown. On December 26, Saddam's appeal was rejected and the death sentence upheld. No further appeals were taken and Saddam was ordered executed within 30 days of that date. The date and place of the execution were secret until the sentence was carried out. Saddam Hussein was executed by hanging on December 30, 2006.
