Black-painted graffiti lauding Saddam Hussein appeared in his home town and small groups of mourners turned out at his grave on Sunday, the first anniversary of the former Iraqi leader's execution. Grafitti reading "There is no life without the sun and no dignity without Saddam," or "Paradise for the hero Saddam," appeared on buildings in Tikrit including the police station and the agriculture and electricity directorates. Saddam was hanged for crimes against humanity in a rushed execution criticized by the international community. It angered Sunni Arabs when images of Shi'ite officials taunting him on the gallows emerged on the Internet.
