Muslims celebrate Saddam's passing.
Dozens of Iraqi-Americans gathered late Friday at a Detroit-area
mosque to celebrate reports that Saddam Hussein had been executed,
cheering and crying as drivers honked horns in jubilation.
Dave
Alwatan wore an Iraqi flag around his shoulders and flashed a peace
sign to everyone he passed at the Karbalaa Islamic Educational Center
in this suburb of Detroit, a city that has one of the nation's largest
concentrations of people with roots in the Middle East.
"Peace," he said, grinning and laughing. "Now there will be peace for my family."
Video of his last seconds (does not include the actual hanging). Ms U has a more complete (still no actual hanging) video.
Addendum: An eyewitness describes exactly what happened.
