(January 1, 2007)--Demonstrators took to the streets of Dor near Samarra in Iraq on Monday to protest at the execution of the deposed president Saddam Hussein.

Defying curfews, gunmen with scarves masking their faces marched through the streets firing into the air, while women dressed in black chanted pro-Saddam slogans and called for revenge.

One of the masked gunmen who was not identified offered his condolences to Muslims over the death of Saddam.

The demonstrators gathered at a 30-foot mural of Saddam built at a compound in the town.

Meanwhile Saddam’s oldest daughter has made her first public appearance since her father's execution.

She attended a protest in Amman, Jordan, thanking people for honoring her father.

Raghad Saddam Hussein had supervised Saddam's legal team.

Video apparently taken with a cell phone has emerged on the Internet that clearly shows Saddam falling to his death and briefly swinging on a rope, with his neck grotesquely bent.

None of the US TV networks have used those images, although some are using the parts leading up to the trap door opening.

It includes audio showing that Saddam was taunted in his final moments.

Iraqi state TV earlier carried silent video of men in black ski masks placing the noose around Saddam's neck.
