Saddam Court Finished With 80 Percent of
Investigation
(Tareek al-Shaab)
Raid Joohi, one of the highest judges at the special
criminal court to try Saddam Hussein spoke Wednesday
about the completion of 80 percent of the court's
investigation. He added that it is not the mission
of the investigative judges to set a deadline for
the trial of Saddam and his regime's men. Saddam is
accused of committing war crimes and violating human
rights. He may be tried first for the assassination
of 143 citizens from the Dijail area in 1982.

Head of Parliament Calls on Arab States to
Support Iraq
(Al-Iraq al-Yoom)
Hachem al-Hasani, head of the National Assembly, has
called on all the Arab states to support Iraq its
war against the insurgency and in building its
infrastructure. He made his comments during the Arab
Parliament Union session held in Algeria from July
11 to 12. He said it is not only Iraq's
responsibility to eliminate terrorism, as it is also
the duty of other Arabs and other states. He added
that the insurgents are trying to pull Iraq away
from playing its role in the region and to distort
bilateral relations with its Arab brothers, and the
killing of the Egyptian ambassador is a good example
of that.
