Hi Hawkmoon; Re: "... committed suicide as the result of 3 bullet wounds..." It wouldn't be the first time. The most famous example I can think of would be this guy, who committed suicide by cutting off his head (more or less): Yukio Mishima (1925-1970) At the height of his career, after having achieved international and local fame, considerable wealth and a certain degree of notoriety, Yukio Mishima committed ritual suicide. At the age of 45, Mishima ended his own life by performing a Japanese suicide rite known as seppuku or hari-kiri. Traditionally reserved for the samurai class, it involves self-disembowelment and ends with decapitation. As much has been written about Mishima’s gruesome and controversial death as about his literary accomplishments. ... us-japan.org -- Carl P.S. But my guess is that it was an assassination. On the other hand, why bother? Is Saddam trying to clean up his act?
