Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
BAGHDAD, Dec. 14 (UPI) -- Iraq will begin the trials of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's aides and backers next week, Prime Minister Iyad Allawi announced Tuesday.
Without identifying which of 11 men in custody will be the first to be tried, Allawi told Iraq's National Council: "I can now tell you clearly and precisely that next week the trials of the members of the former regime will start, one by one so that justice can take its path in Iraq."
Allawi gave no indication of when Saddam himself would face trial.
Among the 11 Baathist supporters being held by U.S. forces at secret locations is former Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Aziz.
Lawyers representing the men have said their clients will refuse to recognize the legitimacy of any courts established under U.S. occupation, the BBC said.
