Saddam criticises US 'occupiers and invaders' in court
A combative Saddam Hussein lashed out today over his treatment by US guards and demanded that the chief judge stand up to American “occupiers and invaders” as his trial for crimes against humanity resumed in a heavily guarded Baghdad court.
The 68-year-old former president began his monologue with a verse from the Muslim holy book the Koran which reminds believers who aspire for Heaven that God knows who actually participated in jihad.
