Saddam's lawyers due to return to trial

Saddam Hussein’s lawyers will attend this week’s trial session, a month after they walked out in protest and accusing the chief judge of being biased against their client, one of the lawyers said today.

Khamis al-Obeidi said only the eight Iraqi attorneys will attend Tuesday’s session since the five foreigners defending the former president and members of his former regime could not make it into the country due to several days of curfew and violence.
