Saddam Hussein starts his second trial today, this time in connection with an anti-Kurdish offensive in 1987 and 1988.
About 100,000 people are thought to have died in Operation Anfal ("spoils").
Seven defendants face charges of war crimes and/or genocide.
Saddam and seven different defendants have already been tried for the killing of 148 Shias in Dujail in 1982. A verdict on that is due on 16 October.
