TIKRIT, Iraq, Jan 15 (Reuters) - The bodies of two of Saddam Hussein's senior aides hanged on Monday arrived in the former president's home city of Tikrit for burial, the deputy governor of the province of Salahaddin told reporters.

Abdullah Jubara said the bodies of Barzan Ibrahim al-Tikriti, Saddam's half-brother, and former judge Awad Hamed al-Bander had been flown in to a U.S. military base. He earlier said they would be buried in Saddam's native village, Awja.
