Three years after his execution, the dictator returns in the form of ‘Saddam TV’, broadcasting to the faithful.

The broadcasts began on the first day of Eid al-Adha, which is also the anniversary of his 2006 execution in the Islamic calendar. Broadcasting from an unknown place, Latifa TV channel started airing Saddam Husain’s pictures and voice records last Friday.

One of the Saddam pictures shown on the channel aired with a banner saying “draw your swords.”
