That guy with the cell phone at Saddam Hussein's hanging is in big trouble.

The AP's Qassim Abdul-Zahra reports that the person believed to have recorded Saddam's execution was arrested Wednesday. That's according to an adviser for Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media.

The adviser did not identify the person, but he said it was "an official who supervised the execution" and who is "now under investigation."

"In the past few hours, the government has arrested the person who made the video of Saddam's execution," the adviser said.

UNRULY CROWD

The leaked cell phone video showed the deposed leader being taunted in his final moments, with witnesses shouting "Go to hell!" before he dropped through the gallows floor and died.

Al-Jazeera television broadcast the amateur video, which also was posted on the Internet, prompting a worldwide outcry and big protests among Iraq's minority Sunnis, who lost their preferential status when Saddam was ousted in the U.S.-led invasion of March 2003.

ONE SUSPECT

The New York Times reported Wednesday that Munqith al-Faroon, a prosecutor in the case, called out National Security Adviser Mowaffak al-Rubaie. Al-Faroon denied the report to The Associated Press.

"I am not accusing Mowaffak al-Rubaie, and I did not see him taking pictures," Munqith al-Faroon, a prosecutor in the case that sent Saddam to the gallows, told The Associated Press.

"But I saw two of the government officials who were ... present during the execution taking all the video of the execution, using the lights that were there for the official taping of the execution. They used mobile phone cameras. I do not know their names, but I would remember their faces," al-Faroon said in a telephone interview.
