BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraqi officials have handed a man over to magistrates
after a government investigation into who taunted Saddam Hussein with sectarian

on Tuesday.

Iraq government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said an official government inquiry
concluded that the taunting captured on an illicit video of Saddam's December 30
execution could be blamed on "individual behavior".

"The government has discovered the person who did this," Dabbagh told a news
conference, referring to the shouting.

investigation for jeering Saddam on the gallows.
