The claim that Saddam Hussein was punched several times, by court officials, after he cursed two Shi'ite Islam saints has been denied by the court officials.
The chief prosecutor, Jaafar al-Mousawi, is quoted as saying:
"No one in the court attacked Saddam or punished him, and we will never allow anyone in the court to harm any of the defendants, whether it is Saddam or someone else..."
Saddam's lawyers have yet to comment on this counterclaim.
