Saddam's family dissolves legal team
Saddam Hussein’s family says it has dissolved the Jordan-based legal team cancelling the power of attorney it had given to international lawyers in a move seen as reorganising the former Iraqi dictator’s legal counsel ahead of his upcoming trial.
In an “urgent” statement, Saddam’s family said it has appointed Khalil Dulaimi as the “one and sole legal counsel”. Dulaimi was part of the Jordan-based legal team for the past year and attended some of Saddam’s initial court hearings in Baghdad.
