BAGHDAD, Iraq — Saddam Hussein's former deputy was hanged before dawn Tuesday for his part in the killings of 148 Shiites, an official with the
prime minister's office said, despite appeals from international human rights groups.
Taha Yassin Ramadan, who was Saddam's vice president when the regime was ousted nearly four years ago, was the fourth man to be executed in the
killings of 148 Shiites following a 1982 assassination attempt against the former leader in the town of Dujail north of Baghdad.
