First witness to testify in Saddam trial
Meanwhile, four aid workers, including two Canadians and a Briton were kidnapped over the weekend, as Iraq’s former prime minister warned that human rights abuses are now as bad as they were under Saddam.
The witnesses are set to describe the deaths of more than 140 Shi’ite villagers following an assassination attempt against Saddam in the town of Dujail in 1982.
