Iraq uncovers plan to rocket Saddam trial
2005-12-05
From the Pakistan Daily Times; several shakes of salt required.
BAGHDAD: Iraqi authorities uncovered a plot by a Sunni Arab insurgent group to attack the trial of Saddam Hussein when it holds its third hearing on Monday, the government’s national security adviser said.

A statement released by the office of national security adviser Mouwaffak al-Rubaie said the 1920 Revolution Brigades planned to fire rockets at the court building during Monday’s session. The statement said Iraqi intelligence uncovered the plot but gave no further details and did not say whether anyone had been arrested. Saddam and seven co-defendants are on trial for the 1982 killing of Shia Muslims in the town of Dujail following an assassination attempt against him there.
