A combination photo of frames grabs taken from Al Iraqiya television shows masked executioners preparing to hang former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein in Baghdad December 30, 2006. Hussein was hanged for crimes against humanity at dawn on Saturday, a dramatic, violent end for a leader who ruled Iraq by fear for three decades before he was toppled by a US invasion four years ago.
