From BBC: Mubarak warns on Saddam hanging Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has warned that hanging former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein will lead to even more bloodshed in Iraq. A Baghdad court condemned Saddam Hussein to death on Sunday for the killing of 148 Shia Muslims after a 1982 assassination attempt against him. Mr Mubarak said hanging the former president would only deepen sectarian and ethnic conflicts between Iraqis. They are the first public comments on the sentence by an Arab leader. "Carrying out this verdict will explode violence like waterfalls in Iraq," Mr Mubarak is quoted as saying by Egyptian state-run newspapers. A long-time critic of Saddam Hussein and ally of the US, Mr Mubarak and other Arab leaders are alarmed by the relentless violence in the country.I agree with Mobarak, it will not only create more bloodshed, but a big rift between the groups in Iraq that will be fuelled for decades. Sunnis will never forgive Shiaa the killing of their president. And I’m no fan of Saddam by the way.
