According to ABC news, the Department of Defense has stated it will maintain custody (turning eventually into joint U.S.-Iraqi custody) of the former president until the time of his execution to prevent any possible last minute escape or attack. Meanwhile, Saddam's legal team has filed documents with the U.S. District Court in Washington requesting a stay of execution. This looks to be of no avail as Iraqi state television has now declared that the execution will take place bebtween 9:30 and 10 pm Eastern tonight.
