STORYLINE:
The security situation in Iraq is worse now than it was five years ago under president Saddam Hussein, according to residents from the fallen dictator's former home town of Tikrit.
While hallmarks of the town's once favoured status as a trusted bedrock of support for Saddam are slowly crumbling - among them one of Saddam Hussein's former palaces - its loyalties appear to remain.
Local residents, speaking to AP Television on Wednesday, the 5th anniversary of the start of the Iraq war, said their country had since gone from bad to worse.
