Saddam Hussein will be executed before 6am Saturday Baghdad time (3am GMT), a senior Iraqi government official has said.

The time was agreed upon during a meeting between US and Iraqi officials, said the official, who declined to be named because he was not authorised to speak to the media.

"The time has been agreed upon. It will be done by six o'clock in the morning," the official said.

"The agreement was reached during a meeting between Iraqi and American officials. Saddam will be handed over shortly before the execution."

Iraqi prime minister Nouri Maliki's office has signed Saddam's death sentence.
Saddam's lawyers issued a statement on Friday calling on "everybody to do everything to stop this unfair execution."

Maliki said opposing Saddam's execution was an insult to his victims. His office said he made the remarks in a meeting with families of people who died during Saddam's rule.
