Egyptian President Warns Against Saddam Execution
(RTTNews) - Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak on Thursday warned against the execution of the deposed Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. In a statement which was released on Thursday, Mubarak warned that Saddam's execution will lead to an eruption of violence in Iraq.
State-run Egyptian newspapers quoted Mubarak as saying: "Carrying out this verdict will explode violence like waterfalls in Iraq". He added that Saddam's execution "will transform (Iraq) into blood pools and lead to a deepening of the sectarian and ethnic conflicts."
Earlier on Thursday Iraqi Prime minister Nouri al-Maliki had said that Saddam's execution will take place by year end if the Iraqi appeals court rejects Saddam's appeal and upholds the execution sentence. An Iraqi special tribunal on Sunday had convicted Saddam Hussein of crimes against humanity and sentenced him to death by hanging for the brutal repression of a Shiite town of Dujail in 1982.
