(April 6, 2006)—Saddam Hussein is due back in court Thursday in Baghdad, after a session Wednesday during which sparks flew.
The former leader faced cross-examination for the first time Wednesday.
He admitted approving death sentences against Shiites in the 1980s, but he told the court he "was convinced the evidence that was presented was sufficient" to prove they were guilty of an assassination attempt against him.
The chief prosecutor asked Saddam if he knew that 28 of the executed were under 18.
The prosecutor showed ID cards for some of the executed minors.
Saddam said such cards are easily faked, saying he could come up with an ID saying a victim was 25.
At the start of Wednesday’s session, Saddam denounced the court.
He said, "A body whose base and formation is illegitimate and unjust can't pronounce justice."
He also said the Shiite-controlled Interior Ministry "kills thousands" and tortures people.
