Baroque horror in Bagdad

Today's UK Sunday Times has an interview with the late Uday Hussein's chief executioner, Lt. Col. "Abu Ahmad":

The executioner said that he was ordered to seize two 19-year-old students and take them to a farm of Uday Hussein, Saddam’s oldest son who was killed by American forces last week.

As soon as they arrived the students were dragged to a cage containing the lions and forced inside. “I saw the head of the first student literally come off his body with the first bite,” he said. He then had to stand and watch the animals devour the two young men: “By the time they were finished there was little left but for the bones and bits and pieces of unwanted flesh.”

Unbelievable.   Read the whole thing.
