He shouted: "Allahu Akbar!" (God is Greatest) and "Long live the nation!", pointing defiantly at the judge. Looking defiant and bitter as the verdict was delivered, he continued to shout "Long live the people and death to their enemies. Long live the glorious nation, and death to its enemies!" He had refused to stand for the verdict and had to be lifted to his feet by two court bailiffs. "Make him stand," the judge ordered as the former president stayed seated. Saddam was convicted of ordering the deaths of 148 Shia men and teenage boys in the town of Dujail in 1982. The killings followed a failed assassination attempt against him and were intended to act as a grim warning to others not to oppose him. The hearing has now been adjourned. Sky | Forbes | Denver Post
