Saddam's daughters 'proud'
30/12/2006 16:19 - (SA)
Dubai - Saddam Hussein's daughters watched his final moments on television and were proud to see the former Iraqi president face his executioners without flinching, their spokesperson said on Saturday.

"They felt very proud as they saw their father facing his executioners so bravely, standing up," said Rasha Oudeh, who was with Saddam's daughters Raghd and Rana as they watched television footage of the noose being tightened around his neck.

"They pray that his soul rests in peace. They were calm and faced this with courage and faith," she said by telephone from Jordan, where Saddam's daughters are exiled.

Raghd, 38, and Rana, 34, were at home with their children when they heard news of Saddam's execution on television. They had asked before he was put to death at dawn that Saddam's body be temporarily buried in Yemen.

Their brothers, Uday and Qusay, were killed by US forces in 2003. Pictures of their bodies were also shown on television.
