KUWAIT, July 5 (KUNA) -- The trial of the
deposed Iraqi President Saddam Hussein would not
take long and his execution for crimes against
humanity would be come soon after the court's
verdict, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki said
here on Wednesday, adding that "if President Jalal
Talabani refused to sign the death sentence, a
presidential council would carry out the mission."
Speaking at news conference during his two-day visit
to Kuwait, Maliki said there was no border crisis
between Iraq and Kuwait. "We see no big crisis
between Kuwait and Iraq and a talk session is not
necessary.
There is a technical matter followed up by a
technical committee", he pointed out.
"Such technical matters existed in most Arab
countries ... It needed no more than a technical
team", Maliki, who arrived here yesterday said,
underlining that the Iraqi government wanted to end
every border technicalities. He said the Iraqi
government policy was based on "making firmer its
solid relations with neighbouring countries".
"We should finish these matters. These are sideline
details, because Kuwait needed no oil well in Iraq,
a rich country that has no ambitions in Kuwaiti soil
or oil", he told the editors in chief of local
newspapers and their representatives as well as the
Editor in Chief of the Kuwait News Agency Yousif al
Yaqout.
