Saddam’s own video may be key to trial
The Dubai-based Al-Arabiya channel said it obtained footage the prosecutor referred to in court as evidence. It shows Saddam addressing cheering crowds in Dujail after the alleged assassination attempt, vowing to bring in the conspirators and interrogate them.
Prosecutors say it shows Saddam interrogating four residents of the town of Dujail after a purported attempt on his life. Later, 148 people were killed there, allegedly in retaliation.
