AMMAN, Jan 24: The lawyers of Saddam Hussein are mulling plans to write their memoirs about the trial that led to the execution of the Iraqi dictator last month for crimes against humanity, a defence team member said on Wednesday.

“There is an idea to write the memoirs of the defence team over the past three years, from the onset of the trial to the time of the execution of president Saddam Hussein,” Jordanian attorney Ziad Najdawi said.

“You will discover the depth of the injustice and the farce and the depth of the American aggression against the Arab and Muslim nation,” he said.

Saddam was executed Dec 30 in Baghdad after being convicted in November of crimes against humanity for the killing of 148 Shias following an assassination attempt against him in 1982.

Plans for the book and its funding will be discussed among Arab lawyers and Western members of the defence, Najdawi said, although the defence team has itself been dissolved since Saddam’s hanging.—AFP
