TEHRAN, July 4 (UPI) -- Iran said Sunday it has drawn its own list of charges against Saddam Hussein for crimes relating to the Iran-Iraq war, the BBC reported.
The charges include the 1980 attack on Iran using chemical weapons.
Nearly one-million people died in the eight-year war between the two nations.
A spokesman said Iran asked why alleged crimes against Iran were not among charges read out during Saddam Hussein's court appearance Thursday.
"Iran will definitely file the complaint with the Iraqi court," Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi said.
"One of the crimes of Saddam Hussein is the attack of Iran, the death of Iranians, the use of chemical weapons," Asefi said.
Charges against Saddam Hussein cover the 1990 invasion of Kuwait, suppressing rebellions by Kurds and Shia after the 1991 Gulf war, ethnic cleansing of Kurds in 1987-88, and the gassing of Kurdish villagers in 1988.
