Saddam defence team: Witnesses arrested
Four defence witnesses in the trial of Saddam Hussein were arrested after giving their testimony this week, Saddam’s chief lawyer said from Jordan today, accusing Iraqi authorities of trying to intimidate them.
Among the four arrested after yesterday’s session of the court was a witness who testified that some Shiites whom Saddam is on trial for killing are still alive, said the lawyer, Khalil al-Dulaimi.
