Saddam Hussein's former vice president was hanged for crimes against humanity early on Tuesday, the fourth anniversary of the U.S.-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein from power. Former Vice President Taha Yassin Ramadan was the third of Saddam's top aides to be hanged since the ex-president was executed in December after a trial in a U.S.-backed Iraqi tribunal that was criticised by human rights groups as unfair.
