BEIJING, Oct. 30 (Xinhuanet) -- Saddam Hussein's chief lawyer warned U.S. President George W. Bush that there will be violence in Iraq and the Mideast if the former president is sentenced to death for genocide charges, according to media reports Monday.
Leading Iraqi attorney Khalil al-Dulaimi warned Sunday in a letter to Bush that a verdict by the Iraqi High Tribunal against Saddam and seven co-defendents over the killing of 148 Shiite villagers in the Iraqi village of Dujail could plunge Iraq and the region into violence. |
