A man who worked as Uday Hussein´s chief
executioner has revealed how Saddam´s son once
ordered him to seize, and then help drag, two
19-year-old students into a cage to be devoured by
lions.

´´I saw the head of the first student literally
come off his body with the first bite,´´ he told
the London Times. He says he was forced to watch
the animals devour the young students. ´´By the
time they were finished there was little left but
for the bones and bits and pieces of unwanted
flesh.´´

The 36-year-old executioner, who uses the
pseudonym Abu Ahmad, was told the men ´´had
competed with Uday where some young ladies were
concerned, ´´ according to the newspaper.

Ahmad also claims to have supervised mass
beheadings on the orders of Uday, and recounted
the decapitation of 36 people, including a
pregnant woman, in a single afternoon.

He claims to have been so distressed at
participating in the killing of an unborn child he
´´wished for Allah to open up the ground and
swallow everyone there including myself.´´

Uday wouldn´t watch the executions, instead
sending a cameraman to film them. He´d then order
the victims´ remains returned to their families
with the head and body in separate bags, reports
the paper.

Ahmad says he was also involved in killings in
which the victims´ heads were placed in a vice and
their bodies split down the middle by a swordsman.


He says he never disobeyed Uday´s orders out of
fear he too would be executed.

Now in hiding, Ahmad, who has four children,
sleeps surrounded by guns and grenades out of fear
American forces will come looking for him.

U.S. soldiers have already captured several of
Saddam´s bodyguards and came close to seizing the
former Iraqi leader in Mosul shortly after the
deaths of his sons last Tuesday, according to the
newspaper.

Military sources say intelligence intercepted a
single satellite phone signal known to belong to
Saddam during the bombardment of the building in
Mosul where Uday and Qusay were killed.

Soldiers searched the nearby villa from which the
call was made but came up empty.
