Saddam's supporters vow revenge

Hundreds of supporters of former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein have been protesting in the cities of Baghdad, Tikrit and Samarra against his hanging.

Many of the protesters vowed revenge for Saturday's execution, describing it as a criminal act of cowardice orchestrated by American overlords.

The Sunni Arab demonstrations came a day after celebrations in Shia areas.

Saddam Hussein's eldest daughter, Raghad, joined hundreds of people in a protest in Jordan's capital Amman.

"God bless you! I thank your for honouring Saddam the martyr," she told the demonstrators, in a surprise public appearance.
