| Paper details Saddam court hearing |
| 2005-06-29 |
| LONDON, June 29 (UPI) -- An Arab paper reports toppled Iraqi President Saddam Hussein insisted on signing his testimony as the president of Iraq in his most recent court appearance. The London-based al-Quds al-Arabi quoted sources close to the procedure as saying Saddam appeared in very good health and high morale as he was questioned on his role in the killing of hundreds of people from al-Dujail in the early 1980s after a failed assassination attempt on his life. They said Saddam denied he had ordered the mass killing, but after the judge told him his former vice president Taha Yassin Ramadan and his half-brother Barzan al-Tikriti testified that he had ordered "revenge mass killings," Saddam said, "If they said that and they signed this testimony, then I am responsible." One of his defense lawyer told the paper Saddam doubted Ramadan and Tikriti had testified to that effect, "but he behaved as a president should and took responsibility." The hearing was two weeks ago. |
