He was found guilty by the Iraqi court of murder, torture and forced deportation. The Dujail episode falls within 12 of the worst cases out of 500 documented "baskets of crimes" during the Hussein regime. The U.S. State Department says torture and extra judicial killings followed the Dujail killings and that 550 men, women and children were arrested without warrants. |
