In NAJAF, the Shi'ite holy city south of Baghdad:
"Saddam is sentenced to death! Die, you Baathists!": crowds chanting after the verdict was reported on television.

In RAMADI, capital of the restive Sunni province of Anbar in western Iraq:
"We were not surprised about the death sentence against President Saddam. The sentence was given for the benefit of Bush in the election.": Ahmed Hussain al-Dulaimi, 25, college student.

In MOSUL, a mixed city north of Baghdad: -- "They have sentenced Saddam to death for the killings that happened when he was a president. Who is going to sentence the leaders now for the everyday killings that are happening in the country?" -- Bahjat, 30, a Sunni Arab who declined to give his last name.
