Iraqi Executions

NPR's Eric Weiner reports from Amman, Jordan on the aftermath of the deaths yesterday of two high-level Iraqi exiles who were sons-in-law of Iraqi president Saddam Hussein. The two men recently returned to Baghdad from Jordan, and yesterday evening Iraqi media reported that they'd been killed by angry members of their clan. Analysts say the deaths indicate Saddam Hussein's hold in power in Baghdad is secure.
