Saddam 'asked lawyers not to appeal for his life'
Hours before Saddam Hussein’s execution, the ousted Iraqi leader asked his lawyers not to appeal for his life and accused the United States and Iran of collaborating to hang him, according to a copy of his will.
As part of Saddam’s final wishes, he gave his chief lawyer Khalil al-Dulaimi the right to “decide whatever is related to me except appealing for the life of Saddam Hussein to any of the presidents, kings, Arabs or foreigners,” read a copy of the will obtained by The Associated Press.
