Meanwhile, a lawyer for Saddam Hussein called on the Iraqi government to bring formal charges against the ousted Iraqi leader if it expects to put him on trial this summer. This comes a day after the president of Iraq’s transitional government, Jalal Talabani, said he hopes to see Saddam tried within two months. In a glimpse of one of Saddam’s possible defenses, his lawyer said forensic tests indicate the chemicals used against the Kurds in Halabja in 1988 “certainly did not come from Iraq.” He did not elaborate.
