Iraqis: Saddam to Be Turned Over Within Days
Last we heard, the U.S. planned to turn over legal control of Saddam to Iraq but retain physical control of him because the Iraqis supposedly do not have secure enough jails to hold him. Today, Iraq's national security advisor says differently.
A handcuffed and chained Saddam Hussein will be hauled in front of an Iraqi judge within days to hear his arrest warrant, Iraq's national security advisor Muwaffaq al-Rubaie said in a televised interview. "We're going to have control of Saddam Hussein. "We're going to have two American military MPs to hand him over to four Iraqi policemen. They will put a chain (on him) and take him to the waiting room," Rubaie told CBS anchorman Dan Rather.
