Witness describes shocks, beatings as Saddam trial continues
In contrast to the day before, when he interrupted and berated male witnesses, Saddam sat stone-faced and silent, taking notes on a pad of paper, as the woman, known only as Witness A, told the court how she and dozens of other families from the town of Dujail were arrested in a crackdown after a 1982 assassination attempt against Saddam.
Two other witnesses - a man and a woman - testified yesterday, all with their identities concealed.
