| An Iraqi dissident group said that Saddam Hussein's government executed six military officers earlier this month for subversion. The Center for Human Rights, an affiliate of the Iraqi Communist Party, said three of the officers had served at Saddam's presidential retreat at Tharthar, 100 miles northwest the capital Baghdad. It named the other three but did not say where they had been stationed. Their bodies were delivered to their families, who were forbidden to hold funerals. |
