Probe into Saddam’s Kuwait invasion gains momentum
BAGHDAD - A legal investigation into the 1990 invasion of Kuwait by Saddam Hussein’s Iraq is gaining momentum and the former strongman may face charges for the alleged execution of Kuwaiti prisoners of war. US officials close to the Iraqi High Tribunal trying Saddam on charges related to various alleged atrocities committed during his 24-year rein told AFP that Kuwaiti officials had filed a formal complaint with prosecutors.

In the Kuwaiti complaint, filed earlier this year, Saddam stands accused of “illegally invading the country, killing and torturing its people, destroying its oil wells and other infrastructure.”

“The complaints have been filed and the court has started an investigation,” an American legal expert said, briefing AFP on condition of anonymity because he is not permitted to speak on behalf of the Iraqi body.
Useful probe to have though they can only hang Sammy once.
