He ruled for years: the end came in seconds
Guardian Unlimited, UK -
In predominantly Sunni areas of Iraq, the reaction was starkly different. A curfew was imposed in Tikrit, and there were reports of sporadic clashes there. Residents in Awja, the village where Saddam was born, said he was a 'martyr' in the fight against the US-backed government. 'This is a mercenary court. Iraqi people reject this court. Saddam is the legal president of Iraq,' one young man said, apparently sceptical as to whether Saddam had been hanged. 'If they execute him we will rise up.' There were also expressions of anger in the Arab world about the timing of the execution. Saudi Arabia, in which the Muslim holy city of Mecca is located, was particularly critical. A presenter on the official al-Ikhbariya television station broke into scheduled programming to declare: 'There is a feeling of surprise and disapproval that the verdict has been applied during the holy months and the first days of Eid al-Adha. Leaders of Islamic countries should show respect for this blessed occasion ... not demean it.'

How one leopard changed its spots and saved a baby baboon
Daily Mail, UK -
Tragically, when morning came, the camera team realised that the tiny baboon was no longer showing signs of life.
