The guard was one of the 300 persons who helped bury the corpse.
“There were six stab wounds on his body. Four of the wounds were on the former president’s front and two on his back,” Pakistani daily the Daily Times quoted Talal Misrab (45), the head guard, as saying in an interview with The Times.
He also said there was an injury to his face, and that 300 other people witnessed the injuries when the body was buried in the early hours of the morning, the day after Saddam was executed.
