Description

Hiding in a hole in the ground, bearded and unkempt, the former President of Iraq, Saddam Hussein, was dragged blinking into the light by American special forces.

So how did it feel for Iraqis? Muwaffaq al Rubaie had suffered at his hands and was asked to go and identify the former dictator.
