Saddam Hussein executed

Video footage has been released showing Saddam Hussein before and after his hanging.

He was executed just before dawn in Baghdad, his final moments filmed, the pictures then released.

Saddam Hussein is shown entering the death chamber, surrounded by his masked executioners. A hangman places a noose around his neck, before the video halts.

More grainy film of Saddam's corpse appeared later, his head at a lopsided angle to his body.
