Iraq
Saddam trial adjourns until January 8
2006-12-22
BAGHDAD - The trial of ousted Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein and six co-defendants on genocide charges against the Kurds was adjourned until January 8 after documentary evidence was presented on Thursday.

The court trying Saddam heard that Iraqi forces were told to cooperate with their Turkish counterparts during a 1980s campaign against Kurdish civilians. Prosecutors seeking to prove that the ousted Iraqi dictator ordered the slaughter of 182,000 Kurdish civilians in the 1988 Anfal campaign produced a series of Iraqi military documents during the dayÂ’s hearing.

#1  Saddam has admitted ordering the gassing of the Kurds - has all but officially said was righteous thing to do in his view, and would do it again iff given the chance, or words to that effect. JUST MADE THE PROSECUTOR'S CASE.
