Saddam's family dissolves legal team
The family of the former Iraqi dictator, Saddam Hussein, has said it has dissolved his Jordan-based legal team, cancelling the power of attorney it had given to international lawyers in a move seen as reorganising Saddam’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.
