Saddam trial judge set to be replaced by deputy
He would replace the Kurdish chief judge, who resigned amid claims of government interference in the high-profile case. His resignation has yet to be accepted by the Iraqi government.
Said al-Hamash, the second-ranking member of the five-judge tribunal trying the former Iraqi leader, is expected to replace chief judge Rizgar Mohammed Amin, said Raid Juhi, the top investigating judge who prepared the case against Saddam.
