Saddam Grilled About 1991 Shiite Crackdown
By QASSIM ABDUL-ZAHRA, Associated Press Writer Sat Jul 30,12:40 AM ET
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Investigators grilled Saddam Hussein about his role in the
brutal suppression of a Shiite uprising in 1991 as they sought to build
another criminal case against the ousted dictator, Iraqi officials said
Friday.
Saddam answered questions at a 45-minute hearing Thursday in the presence of
an Iraqi defense lawyer, said Raid Juhi, the Iraqi Special Tribunal's chief
investigative judge.
The former leader was asked about the tens of thousands of Shiites and Kurds
believed to have been killed in the wake of the uprising that erupted after
U.S.-led forces drove the Iraqi army from Kuwait in the
Gulf War. Many Shiites mistakenly believed the United States would support
them in their revolt against Saddam.
Juhi said he thinks he is close to concluding the criminal probe into
Saddam's crackdown against Shiites in southern Iraq, as well as his campaign
during the late 1980s to force Iraqi Kurds from wide areas of the north.
A trial date should be announced soon - the first of about a dozen trials
that Saddam and former regime officials are expected to face, Juhi said.
In a videotape released last week, Saddam was seen being questioned about
the case of the Shiite Kurds, who were forcibly deported to Iran during the
early 1980s.
Earlier this month, the tribunal filed its first criminal charges against
Saddam, accusing him and three others in the July 1982 massacre of an
estimated 150 Shiites in the town of Dujail north of Baghdad, in retaliation
for a failed assassination attempt on him.
Others being charged in the Dujail case are Barazan Ibrahim, intelligence
chief at the time and Saddam's half-brother; former Vice President Taha
Yassin Ramadan and Awad Hamed al-Bandar, at the time a Baath party official
in Dujail. If convicted they could receive the death penalty.
The former president is expected to be charged with at least 13 crimes for
which he could face the death penalty.
Saddam, 68, has been jailed under American control at a U.S. military
detention complex near Baghdad International Airport.
Other charges against him include killing rival politicians over 30 years,
gassing about 5,000 Kurds in the northern town of Halabja in 1988, and
invading Kuwait in 1990.
Iraqi investigators have based their work on two million official documents
from Saddam's era, information from 7,000 witnesses as well as reports from
forensic experts who checked some of the 200 mass graves throughout the
country.

That famous picture of Rumsfeld shaking this "animal's" hand in 1985 or
so comes immediately to mind. Repugs have used SH for their political
purposes for decades and it continues today.
