"Saddam Says He's Been Beaten in Detention"

Advertisements [?]

BAGHDAD, Iraq - After several hours of quietly listening to testimony, Saddam Hussein alleged in a long outburst at his trial Wednesday that he had been beaten "everywhere on my body" while in detention. The chief prosecutor said that if American-led multinational forces were abusing the former Iraqi leader, he would be transferred into the custody of Iraqi troops. "Yes, I have been beaten, everywhere on my body. The marks are still there," Saddam told the court.
