Tariq Aziz 'will not testify against Saddam'

Tariq Aziz, the international face of Saddam Hussein’s Iraqi regime, will not testify against the former dictator, his lawyer said today.

Badee Izzat Aref also quoted Aziz denying any wrongdoing in the oil-for-food programme that allowed Iraq to sell oil to buy food and medicine for its people suffering under UN sanctions imposed in 1990.
