Saddam Hussein’s Defense Attorney Told to Pick Up His Belongings
by John Little on 29/12/2006He isn’t dead yet but it certainly sounds like it will happen within 24 hours:
Under Iraqi law, his defense lawyers and family would be notified before the death sentence is carried out, and there has apparently been no such notification.
“The American side has just called me and asked me to either send someone to pick up the personal effects of Saddam Hussein and his [half] brother Barzan al-Tikriti, or to give them an address to which they can send them,” said lead defense attorney Khalil al-Dulaimi.
He said when he asked the U.S. military if this meant that Hussein had already been transferred to Iraqi custody for his execution, they refused to answer.
