Defence Threatened

Najib al-Nueimi, Qatar's former minister of justice and one of the defence lawyers of Saddam Hussein, claimed that he was harassed and threatened with death by workers at Baghdad airport on Wednesday.

He claimed that when he left the airport a group of Iraqi workers threatened him, because he volunteered to defend Hussein. The American protection team, and some members of the Iraqi police, intervened to prevent the workers from approaching him.

He has asked the court for better protection for the defence team.
