French attorney says he wants to defend Saddam
By Our Correspondent
PARIS, Dec 18: Jacques Verges, a French attorney of Asian extraction with a penchant for defending such lost causes as Nazi war crimes figure Klaus Barbie, terrorist Carlos the Jackal says that he’s ready to take on the case of Saddam Hussein.
“If, in fact, he’s being stashed away by the Americans,” Mr Verges told newsmen, “then I’d immediately point out that it’s against conventions.”
