 DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) - With tears in his eyes and a grin on his face, 13-year-old Ali Al-Najjar watched his father celebrate the death of Saddam Hussein.
The Dearborn resident was emotional Friday night — not only did his dream of the former Iraqi president's execution come true, but he said he was witnessing a rare occurrence.
"This is the first time I've seen my dad this happy," he said as he watched the crowd of about 200 Iraqi-Americans cheer outside a Detroit-area mosque as drivers honked horns in jubilation. "I've been praying for this all my life."
