THIS???!!!! is what they follow???!!!
Saddam Hussein was sentenced to death by hanging for crimes against humanity on November 5, 2006, and was executed on December 30, 2006 at approximately 6:00 a.m. local time. During the drop there was an audible crack indicating that his neck was broken, a successful example of a long drop hanging.
By contrast, Barzan Ibrahim al-Tikriti, the head of the Mukhabarat, Saddam’s security agency, and Awad Hamed al-Bandar, former chief judge, were executed on January 15, 2007, also by the long drop method, but Barzan was decapitated by the rope at the end of his fall indicating that the drop was too long, relative to his body weight.
This may change the procedure as I’m not sure if there is a rope drop short enough not to decapitate the prisoner due to his immense weight. They may have to use injection or gas to get it done.
It’s obvious it will happen as “He is considered one of the foremost leaders of ISIS and was responsible for issuing fatwas that led to the murder of scholars and clerics,” Iraqi police said. Shifa al-Nima, also known as Abu Abdul Bari, is a seriously bad dude – responsible for the murders and rapes of men, women and children.
