WASHINGTON, Jan 30: A group of Iraqi dissidents on Tuesday called for Saddam Hussein to be tried as a war criminal before an international tribunal for crimes against humanity.

Members of the Iraqi-American Council urged Saddam’s ouster at last weekend’s anti-war rally in Washington.

Aziz Al-Taee, chairman of the IAC, charged that the peace movement and anti-war demonstrators are unwitting pawns in Saddam’s dangerous political game. He cited news reports of Saddam hailing worldwide anti-war demonstrations as proof of his “international support.”
