Judge says Hussein to be executed by Saturday

An Iraqi judge said Friday that Saddam Hussein will be executed by Saturday at the latest, according to a media report. Lawyers representing the former Iraqi leader say he is no longer in U.S. custody, the Associated Press reported. An Iraqi appeals court upheld Saddam's death sentence Tuesday for the killing of 148 people who were detained after an attempt to assassinate him in Dujail in 1982.
