(Baghdad, Iraq-AP) -- Some Iraqis in Baghdad have turned their displeasure with the regime on a statue of Saddam Hussein in a central square.
As a crowd of dozens of Iraqis gathered at the base of the statue in Firdos Square, three men using a ladder scaled the statue and attached a thick rope, frayed at one end, to the image of Saddam.
Others found a sledge hammer and began pounding away at the base, taking turns at chipping stone off the statue's pedestal.
