JAN 7, 2007 - SAN DIEGO - Mohammed Al-Kahim, Abdel Majid Batir and Nouri Al-Taliki, who were the featured ‘taunters’ in the widely seen cell phone video of Saddam Hussein’s hanging, have been hired by the San Diego Chargers to sit in the stands and intimidate their playoff opponents.

An excited Chargers Coach, Marty Schottenheimer, had nothing, but praise for the men. “I was very impressed with the way they got under Saddam's skin – I mean this guy was an unshakable dictator, but they really had him rattled. If Mohammed and his boys can get into Tom Brady’s head like that and take him out of next week's game, well, what more can we ask for.”

Al-Kahim, Majid-Batir and Al-Taliki will be introduced at an afternoon news conference today.
