BAGHDAD, Iraq - Saddam Hussein, the shotgun-waving dictator who ruled Iraq with a remorseless brutality for a quarter-century and was driven from power by a U.S.-led war that left his country in shambles, was taken to the gallows and executed Saturday, Iraqi state-run television reported.

"Criminal Saddam was hanged to death," Iraqiya television said in an announcement. The station played patriotic music and showed images of national monuments and other landmarks.

All I've seen is that clip I posted, the film stops after they put the noose on and they don't show the actual hanging

 

[Sinister]

They have some extended shots of the film over there, but like Will says, you don't really see anything.
