Family Split?

Saddam Hussein's lawyers have claimed that American officials have been trying to turn Barazan Ibrahim, Saddam's half-brother, against him.

Saddam's lawyers calim that Ibrahim told the Higher Iraqi Tribunal that the U.S. offered him a high government position in Iraq, if he testified against Saddam.

The lawyers say Ibrahim rejected the deal.

Saddam's chief lawyer says Ibrahim told the court America offered him "a senior political post in return for testifying against the president."

Ibrahim is also on trial for war crimes.
