| Kuwait has completed 200 major indictments against Saddam Hussein and his top aides for war crimes and could press for his death if international and Iraqi law allow, the justice minister said yesterday. âWe have already completed 200 indictment files against Saddam and his top aides for various crimes like murder, rape, theft, in addition to war crimes and crimes against humanity,â Ahmed Baqer told AFP. Kuwait will demand maximum penalty for the former Iraqi dictator who ordered the Iraqi Army to invade the emirate on August 2, 1990, occupying it for seven months before being driven out by a US-led multinational coalition, Baqer said. âWe will press for the death penalty for any crime that deserves capital punishment under international and Iraqi laws. This matter is being finalized by judicial authorities,â Baqer said. |
