Former Iraqi VP Hanged


Taha Yassin Ramadan, vice president during Saddam Hussein's rule, was hanged Tuesday. He was sentenced last month by the Iraq High Tribunal for his part in the murder of 148 Iraqis in 1982 and an appeals court upheld the sentence last week. Like most of the High Tribunal decisions, Ramadan's case was opposed by a few members of just about every group.
