Iraq Leaders Create Tribunal for Saddam
Iraqi leaders have set up a tribunal of judges and prosecutors to try ousted dictator Saddam Hussein, a spokesman announced on Tuesday. Salem Chalabi, a U.S.-educated lawyer and nephew of the head of the Iraqi National Congress, was named as general director of the tribunal, and he has named a panel of seven judges and four prosecutors, INC spokesman Entefadh Qanbar said. The tribunal has a 2004-2005 budget of $75 million, Qanbar said. A date has yet to be set for the trial of Saddam, who was captured by U.S. troops in December and has since been held by U.S. troops at an undisclosed location in or near Baghdad.Posted by: Sherry 2004-04-20 |
