Saddam to be buried in city of Ramadi, family says

DUBAI (Reuters) - Saddam Hussein's family said on Saturday it had decided to bury the executed former Iraqi leader in the Sunni insurgent stronghold of Ramadi instead of his native village of Awja, close to where he was born. 

"After the family received the will of the martyred president from lawyers who last met him where he asked to be buried either in Awja or Ramadi ... it was decided to bury him in the city of Ramadi," a family statement received by Reuters said.
