STORYLINE:
Hundreds of Shi'ite demonstrators took to the streets in central Baghdad on Thursday demanding the execution of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.
Several protestors showed papers they say document the crimes of Saddam against their relatives.
Others pummelled an effigy of Saddam Hussein with their shoes.
Failing to burn the effigy, an unruly crowd strangled and dismembered it.
Iraq's Shi'ites have emerged from decades of oppression by a Sunni Arab minority when Saddam Hussein's regime fell 15 months ago.
As the majority, they are now poised to dominate the country politically after a general election due in January.
