Saddam co-defendants face delayed hanging in Iraq
Two of Saddam Hussein's co-defendants Barzan Ibrahim and Awad Hamed al-Bandar were taken from their cells and told they would be hanged on the same day as Saddam. They remain under sentence awaiting a decision to avoid new outcry after Saddam's Dec. 30 execution. The men were convicted over the 1982 Dujail killings and were to be hanged after Eid al Adha.
