Saddam trialâs chief judge won't step down, judges say
|
 BAGHDAD - The chief judge overseeing the Saddam Hussein trial has no plans to step down, and a news report suggesting that he will is âbaseless,â another judge on the Saddam tribunal said on Saturday. Rizgar Mohammed Amin, the presiding judge of a five-judge tribunal overseeing the Saddam case, has no plans to step down before the completion of the trial, two judges told The Associated Press on Saturday.
A recent news report citing an anonymous source close to the judge said he would hear one more session of the trial and then resign. One of the judges who spoke to AP sits on the five-judge panel with Amin hearing the Saddam trial. The second judge is on the committee that will likely hear the next case against Saddam concerning the Anfal Offensive that killed some 180,000 Kurds. Both judges spoke on condition of anonymity for security reasons.
The judge on the committee studying the Anfal case told AP that Amin wasnât likely to serve for that trial because a five-judge panel has already been selected and is studying the case.
