Saddam Hussein Kills Himself in Yemen

If At First You Don't Succeed...

"Saddam Hussein Hamadi al-Jaki, a Yemenite youth named after the late Iraqi president was negatively impacted by the images of Saddam's hanging on the first day of Eid al-Adha, so much so that he decided to put an end to his life, and hung himself from a tree in front of his house in Yemen. Reportedly, it didn't go well, and he only died after the third try.
The Website Ness Press, associate with the reformist opposition in Yemen, reported that al-Jaki, 15, tried to commit suicide twice after seeing pictures of Saddam Hussein's execution, but family members stopped him. On Wednesday, he successfully carried out his plan when he tied a rope to a tree, placed the noose around his neck, and hung himself.
