LAT is trying to stir up trouble with ERRONEOUS INFORMATION (deliberately, I am sure).
I just did a search and it turns out that
"Eid al-Adha festival marks the END of the Hajj or holy pilgrimage,
The day before Eid al-Adha is the Day of Arafa' or the Day of Hajj when millions of Muslims make the journey to Mecca in Saudi Arabia to perform a pilgrimage of religious rites known as the Hajj. "

The pilgrimage starts Sunday and Eid al-Adha is at the END of that, so Saddam was NOT executed on a Muslim holiday.
He was killed ASAP by the people that knew him best.
At the end of the Hajj (annual pilgrimage to Mecca), Muslims throughout the world celebrate the holiday of Eid al-Adha (Festival of Sacrifice). In 2006, Eid al-Adha will begin on approximately December 31st, and will last for three days.

Again -- Saddam was NOT executed on a Muslim holiday.
LAT is lying, as usual.
