By Sher Zieve – Reports are surfacing that former Iraq President Saddam Hussein will be transferred from US to Iraqi authorities by the end of day on Friday for possible execution over this weekend. US authorities are also said to have contacted Hussein’s lawyers to transfer possession of Hussein’s personal effects.
The exact time of date of the dictator’s execution is still said to be a closely-guarded secret. However, one of Hussein's attorneys said it will likely be on Saturday.
Hussein was sentenced to be hanged and portions of his videotaped execution may be aired on Iraqi television.
UPDATE: A US military official confirmed to Fox News that Hussein will be transferred to Iraqi authorities on Friday.
