The tomb of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein has been almost completely destroyed in fighting near Tikrit. Footage shows the mausoleum at al-Awja reduced to rubble, following an offensive from Iraqi forces and Shia militia to try and drive ISIS militants from the city in northern Iraq. Hussein was captured by US forces in 2003, convicted of crimes against humanity, and hanged in 2006. His body had been housed in the mausoleum since 2007, though the local Sunni population are said to have removed his body and taken it to an unknown location last year.
