A frame grab from Iraqi state televison shows a noose being placed around former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein's neck December 30, 2006. Hussein was hanged for crimes against humanity at dawn on Saturday, a dramatic, violent end for a leader who ruled Iraq by fear for three decades before he was toppled by a U.S. invasion four years ago.
