Washington - A 10 year-old boy accidentally killed himself imitating Saddam Hussein's hanging after watching the video clip on television, the Houston Chronicle reported on Thursday.

The boy tied a slipknot around his neck while on a bunk bed on New Year's eve, the paper reported.

The boy's mother told police that he watched a report on Saddam's death on the Spanish-language Telemundo news broadcast before the accident.

The boy was curious about Saddam, and asked an uncle who was taking care of him and other children about the execution, according to the Chronicle.

A while later one of the kids noticed the boy was missing, and the uncle found him dead in his room, according to the Chronicle.

In Pakistan, a nine year-old boy hanged himself from a ceiling fan on January 1 also trying to copy hanging scenes from Saddam's execution video.

Kolkata, India - A 15-year-old girl from eastern India hanged herself in response to the execution of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, police and family members said on Thursday.

"She said they had hanged a patriot. We didn't take her seriously when she told us that she wanted to feel the pain Saddam did during the execution," the girl's father, Manmohan Karmakar, told AFP by phone from the town of Kharda.

He said his daughter, called Moon Moon, had become extremely depressed after watching Saddam's execution on television.

"She kept watching the scene over and again and didn't take food on Saturday and Sunday to protest the hanging," he said.

Police superintendent Pravin Kumar confirmed the suicide, saying the girl had strung herself up from a ceiling fan and was found dead early on Wednesday.

Multan - A young boy who tried to copy hanging scenes from the execution video of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein died in central Pakistan, said police on Monday.

Mubashar Ali, 9, hanged himself, while re-enacting Hussein's hanging with the help of elder sister, 10, after tying a rope to a ceiling fan and his neck in his home in Rahim Yar Khan district on Sunday, said a local police official.

The father of the deceased boy said that his children had been watching the video of Saddam Hussein's execution on television and attempted to imitate the hanging as other family members thought they were playing in another room.

"My wife and sister rushed to rescue Mubashar when children cried for help from the adjoining room, but he died due to hanging," said Alamgir Paracha, father of Mubashar.

Police said that the death was accidental and a case of parental negligence.

"It was an accident which happened due to carelessness of parents," said district police chief Sultan Ahmad.
