Investigation with Saddam Hussein progressing

The Iraqi judge assigned to investigate the toppled Iraqi president Saddam Hussein and members of his regime announced that the investigations in preperations for their trial achieved great progress.

Judge Raed al-Jouhi said that investigations with Saddam Hussein achieved a progress at 80%, noting that defining the date of the trial is not the specialty of judges assigned to the investigations, and that a five judge court will decide on that.

Al-Jouhi said that investigations with al-Jouhi and his aides poured on mass killing operations in Iraq's Kurdistan and in the lines of the Shiite in south Iraq, the invasion of Kuwait in 1990, the war with Iran, and other issues.
