Saddam's Trial Resumes

The trial of Saddam Hussein, for alleged war crimes and genocide against the Kurds in the 1980's, has resumed in Baghdad today.

When last in court, two weeks ago, Saddam was ejected after defying instructions from the judge to be quiet.

The defence team met Saddam last week, but they have stated that they will continue to boycott the trial in protest about the replacement of former chief judge, Abdullah al-Amiri, following accusations of bias in favour of Saddam.
