Former Iraqi officials to be tried
2005-03-01
The Iraqi Special Tribunal's chief investigative judge referred Saddam Hussein's half-brother Barzan, former vice president Taha Yasin Ramadan and three others for trial on charges of crimes against humanity. The trial will be the first of any members of Hussein's former government. Barzan, Ramadan and three others will now be tried before a panel of five judges for the 1982 killing of 143 residents of Dujail, 65km northeast of Baghdad, the tribunal said in a statement. The trial will not begin for at least another 45 days, it said.
