BAGHDAD, Iraq - Saddam Hussein and seven senior members of his
23-year regime will go on trial Wednesday to face charges they ordered
the 1982 killings of nearly 150 people from the mainly Shiite town of
Dujail following a failed attempt on Saddam's life.
Al-Jaafari's Shiite Dawa Party was blamed by the toppled regime for
the attempt on Saddam's life in Dujail, a Dawa stronghold. Of the
estimated 17 party members who opened fire on Saddam's motorcade,
eight were killed in a shootout with troops from Saddam's elite
Republican Guard. Nine others escaped and fled to Iran.

U.S. Killed Civilians in Airstrike, Iraqis Say
By Solomon Moore Times Staff Writer
BAGHDAD — American fighter jets and attack helicopters killed about 20
Iraqi civilians and injured 15 other people, including women and
children, during an anti-insurgent operation in the western city of
Ramadi, local police and a doctor who treated the wounded said Monday.
The city, 60 miles west of Baghdad, has been the site of a major U.S.
offensive, and fighting escalated four days ago, residents said. On
Saturday, five U.S. soldiers died in Ramadi when a roadside bomb
exploded near their vehicle. U.S. forces said they launched three
airstrikes in the area Sunday, killing 70 suspected insurgents.
Ramadi Police Capt. Ali Salem, however, said a number of those slain
were civilians.
"An American aircraft yesterday bombed a crowd of people that were
gathering around a U.S. military vehicle that was destroyed by gunmen
earlier in the clashes," he said Monday. "We transported at least 17
dead people and many more injured ones to Ramadi General Hospital."
