AMMAN, Jordan -
Saddam Hussein and his lawyers will boycott the next
session of the deposed leader's trial in Iraq.
They're protesting what they claim is the bias of
the new chief judge hearing the case, Saddam's chief
lawyer said yesterday.
"There is an unanimous decision by the defence team
to not attend (today's) because of the comedy we
witnessed in yesterday's trial," Iraqi lawyer Khalil
al-Dulaimi said.
Chief judge Raouf Rasheed Abdel-Rahman cracked down
Sunday, ordering one of Saddam's co-defendants and a
lawyer expelled.
