Saddam Refuses To Attend Trial

Saddam Hussein is refusing to enter court to attend trial today.

He is complaining about the conditions in which he is being held, and how the trial is being conducted.

On Tuesday he told the judges to "go to hell", and stated that he would not return to an "unjust" court.

Additionally, a man arrested on suspicion of plotting to kill the top trial investigator has been freed by gunmen.

Negotiations are now under way on how the trial can proceed, with the defence team holding talks with the chief judge.

Under Iraqi law the trial can continue without the defendant present in the court room.

It is speculated that arrangements will be made for Saddam to watch the trial on a closed circuit TV link, with the right to intervene at certain points.

The chaos continues.
