A new video of Saddam Hussein’s corpse, with a gaping neck wound, was posted on the internet tonight.
The video, which appeared to have been taken with a camera phone, pans up the shrouded body of the former leader from the feet. It apparently was taken shortly after Saddam was hanged and placed on a gurney.
As the panning shot reaches the head region, the white shroud is pulled back and reveals Saddam’s head and neck.
His head is unnaturally twisted at a 90 degree angle to his right. It shows a gaping bloody wound, circular in shape, about an inch below his jaw line.
There is blood on the shroud where it covered his head.
