Iraq's special tribunal has laid the first charges against Saddam Hussein for crimes committed during the former dictator's rule.
The tribunal's chief investigating judge, Raed Jouhi, said that Saddam had been charged along with three other defendants in connection with the killing of Shi'ite Muslims in the village of Dujail, north of Baghdad, in 1982.
Jouhi said that court proceedings against Saddam and the others could begin "within days."
