In Iraq, Saddam Hussein’s trial reconvened Wednesday without the jailed former president. On Tuesday, Saddam Hussein had vowed he would not return to the trial, citing alleged mistreatment. At one point, he yelled at the trial judge: “’I will not come to an unjust court. Go to hell!” Saddam Hussein is currently facing charges over a massacre in a Shiite village in 1982, the first of several war crimes allegations brought against him. The trial was adjourned until December 21.
