"The final hour of Iraq's former ruler began about 5 a.m. Saturday, when American troops escorted him from Camp Cropper, near the Baghdad airport, to another American base at the heart of the city, Camp Justice.
There, he was handed over to a newly trained unit of the Iraqi National Police, with whom he would later exchange curses. Iraq took full custody of Mr. Hussein at 5:30 a.m.
Two American helicopters flew 14 witnesses from the Green Zone to the execution site – a former headquarters of the deposed government's much feared military intelligence outfit, the Istikhbarat,
now inside the American base. " http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/news/world/stories/DN-finalhours_31int.ART0.State.Edition1.3de1ede.html
