Another lawyer in Saddam trial killed
BAGHDAD, Iraq – Gunmen on Tuesday opened fire on a car carrying two lawyers defending some of Saddam Hussein’s co-defendants in a trial for crimes against humanity, killing one and wounding the other, police and defense team sources said.
The attack followed the murder of another defense lawyer in the team who was shot the day after the trial started in Baghdad last month.
Police and defense team sources said Adil al-Zubeidi was killed in the attack in western Baghdad, while Thamer Hamoud al-Khuzaie was wounded.
Both men were on a team defending Saddam’s brother Barzan al-Tikriti and former vice president Taha Yassin Ramadan, legal sources said.
Saddam’s main lawyer, Khalil al-Dulaimi, blamed the government for Tuesday’s attack, telling Al-Jazeera television that the shooting was carried out by “an armed group using government vehicles.”
Other lawyers trying to defend this scum, now fear for their lives as well, and want the trial to be abroad. This incident has resulted in, yet again delaying the trial. I will not mourn this scum defender’s death, yet I will condemn this act. Whoever is doing it, its just another terrorist. I don’t care who’s side they think they are on, they are no better than any other terrorist. I sure wish they would stop trying to take justice into their own hands, and get on with this trial so we can see legal justice come to scum of the earth Saddam. Are we going to have to send the ACLU over there?

” Are we going to have to send our ACLU over there ? ” The whole lot ? What a temptation !!!
This is actually a bad thing. We WANT this guy to stand trial. Let his crimes be broadcast to the world, and then give him the dealth penalty.
