Saddam Hussein, the former dictator of Iraq, was captured by U.S. forces in 2003 and was held at a number of locations before being transferred to Iraqi custody in 2006. The so-called “Magnificent 12” were the members of the U.S. Special Operations team who found and captured Hussein.<\/p>\n

He was held in a secret location with the Magnificent 12.<\/p>\n

Where was Saddam Hussein held? <\/h2>\n

On 13 December 2003, American forces captured deposed Iraqi president Saddam Hussein in Ad-Dawr, Iraq. The capture was the result of a joint operation between the American military and the Iraqi National Guard. Saddam was hiding in a hole in the ground when he was found. He was then arrested and taken into American custody.<\/p>\n

Saddam was executed by hanging at approximately 05:50 UTC +03:00 on the first day of Eid al-Adha (30 December 2006). Reports conflicted as to the exact time of the execution, with some sources reporting the time as 06:00, 06:05, or some, as late as 06:10.<\/p>\n
