He faces another trial later this year on corruption charges.

The charges relate to the killing of 148 Shiite villagers and the torture and deportation of others following an assassination attempt on him in 1982. As the judgment was delivered, the deposed president shouted out “God is great, and down with the invaders”. Reaction to the verdict across Iraq has been mixed. In many parts of the country, there were celebrations among Shiite Muslims and Kurds, long oppressed by Saddam Hussein, but in Sunni areas there were protests and some clashes. The Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki said the deposed president was a criminal who deserved the punishment he’d been given.Now with a look at reaction elsewhere in the Middle East, here is the BBC’s Ian Panel.This verdict comes as no surprise in the region. Most governments had little time for Saddam Hussein. Although they didn’t support the invasion of his country, few mourned his downfall. For tow countries this verdict has been welcome news. In Iran, a country that fought a long and bloody war with Iraq, a government spokesman said it was a just punishment for his inhuman crime. In Kuwait, a country Saddam invaded, the speaker of Parliament called for Saddam to be hanged without delay. But there has been criticism, especially of the process which many feel has been a one-sided American-controlled trial.Key:Task 1: B D CTask 2: T T T F T T FItem 3By a narrow margin, the U.S. Surpreme Court has struck down the death penalty for murderers under the age of 18.
