Amman, July 30: Former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein was attacked by an unidentified man during his appearance at a court hearing in Baghdad on Thursday, his defence team said on Saturday.
The team, which has an office in the Jordanian capital Amman, said in a statement that the man attacked Saddam and the two exchanged blows during a hearing attended by defence lawyer Khalil Dulaimi.
“As the president stood to leave the courtroom one of those present attacked him and there was an exchange of blows between the man and the president,” the statement said.
The head of the tribunal did nothing to stop the assault, the statement alleged.
you should also be thankful to the americans for the scores of people who lose their lives in the streets of Baghdad everyday!
for the chaos that iraq is in at the moment, for the hundreds of kids that have died in this war, for the failure to find the weapons of mass destruction that were the very reason that iraq was invaded, for creating a whole new breed of suicide bombers, for the destruction of iraqi infrastructure which has resulted in a shortage of necesseties like water, health facilities, for the increased unemployment amongst the Iraqi people.
guy should have been held for contempt of court, its a frikkin court hearing, what about western principles of justice and freedom, 'everyone is innocent until proven otherwise'?!?!
