Talabani opposes death for Saddam

CAIRO: Iraq's new president, Kurdish leader Jalal Talabani said that he opposed the idea of ousted dictator Saddam Hussein being sentenced to death.

"I am among the lawyers who signed an international petition against the death penalty in the world and it would be problem for me if Iraqi courts issued death sentences," he told Asharq Al Awsat newspaper.

Kurds were among the communities who suffered the most under the iron-fisted rule of Saddam. Among the main charges facing him and his henchmen is the brutal Anfal campaign against the Kurds carried out in the 1980s.

Meanwhile, Iraq's newly-elected deputies tried yesterday to bring some order to their meetings but were quickly mired in debates on rough Iraqi police treatment and when and where to meet.
