The special tribunal, set up to try Saddam Hussein, has confirmed that the trial will commence on October 19.
However, they have added a caveat, namely that they have the right to delay the trial "when there are good reasons."
Saddam's lawyer, Khalil al-Dulaimi, has indicated that he will file for a delay when he appears in court on October 19.
He claims that he has not had enough time to prepare for the trial, and to review the evidence against his client. However, Iraqi officials say that he has been given sufficient time in accordance with Iraqi law.
