| BAGHDAD, June 27 (UPI) -- Iraqi Interior Minister Bayan Solagh said Monday more than 1,000 gunmen rounded up in recent security operations will stand trial next week. Solagh said the president of the Higher Judicial Council, Midhat Mahmoud, has informed him that the trials will kick off next week. The interior ministry said earlier this month more than 1,300 terror suspects, including Iraqis and Arab nationals, have been rounded up in security operations carried out by 40,000 police and troops to curb mounting violence. |

| #5 And Saddam Hussein met the IST judge today, and preliminary questioning will begin in a couple of weeks. He won't co-operate. Tariq Aziz already sandbagged him on the Kurd killings. http://iraq-ist.org/en/press/releases/0012e.htm |

| #4 I'm guessing Vegas will set the over/under at around 999 1/2. And I'd still take the over. |

| #3 Probably they should have said 'hearings' would be done. I don't think you could do 1000 trials at one time. |
