Judge Raed al-Juhi, the chief judge trying Saddam Hussein, has arrived in Sulaimaniyah in Northern Iraq's Kurdish-controlled zone.
He is there to gather criminal evidence against Saddam.
An official is quoted as saying:
"The visit by Judge Raed al-Juhi to Sulaimaniyah is to gather documents and evidence that could be useful in the trial of Saddam Hussein.
These are victims or families of victims, who were affected during the Anfal operations in which 182,000 were killed in several Kurdistan provinces, or those who were subjected to chemical warfare in Halabja in 1988,".
He said that Juhi will then go to Arbil, the capital of the Kurdish region.
