Two guards and a supervisor of Saddam Hussein's hanging have been arrested. The charges stem from the unruly execution.

Authorities said the guard force was "infiltrated" by outsiders, who taunted the former leader and shot the video of Saddam being hanged.

A US military spokesman said Saddam was dignified and courteous to his American jailers up to the moment he was handed over to the Iraqis outside the gallows. He said no Americans were present for the hanging.
