Haggard Saddam forced to attend trial
His top co-defendant and half-brother Barzan Ibrahim - dressed only in an undershirt and long underwear - struggled with guards bringing him in and sat on the floor, his back to the judge, for much of the session.
Chief judge Raouf Abdel-Rahman pressed ahead after a stormy start sparked by his decision to order Saddam and his seven co-defendants to attend the session despite a defence boycott.
