| Iraqi court denies judge who sentenced Saddam has fled |
| 2007-03-12 |
| The Iraqi High Tribunal on Sunday denied reports that the judge who sentenced former dictator Saddam Hussein to hang for crimes against humanity has fled to Britain to seek political asylum. “This report is not true, he is having an ordinary vacation outside Iraq,” the tribunal said in a statement. “Judge Rauf Rasheed Abdel Rahman called us personally from London and he denied this report completely.” |

| #1 Sounds right. He fled IRAQ (as in, he lives in Kurdistan) - no need to flee further ..... I'm surprised/pleased to see the tribunal issued a statement - their media operation has at times made this White House look like masters of public affairs by comparison, to give an idea. |
