According to the Associated Press, "the video appeared to have been taken with a camera phone, like the graphic video of the hanging which showed guards taunting Saddam in the final moments of his life.

... The 27-second video was posted on an Iraqi news Web site that is known to support Saddam's outlawed Baath Party. "A new film of the late immortal martyr, President Saddam Hussein," the web site said in a headline over a link to the video."
