The will of the ex power

Saddam Hussein ended a hunger strike after missing just one meal, a U.S. official said Friday.

The former Iraqi leader announced the hunger strike through his lawyer Wednesday in protest over the killing of one of his lawyers by gunmen.

"He has resumed eating after skipping one meal," Lt. Kevin Curry told FOXNews.

Other members of the ex-president regime who joined the hunger strike have also resumed eating, Curry said.
