Another Saddam Defense Lawyer Kidnapped, Killed
Khamis al-Obeidi, one of the main defense lawyers for Saddam Hussein, was kidnapped from home by men in uniforms and killed. He is the third defense lawyer on the team to be killed in 8 months.
Khalil al-Dulaimi, Saddam's chief attorney, blamed the Interior Ministry.
Al-Dulaimi blamed the Interior Ministry, which Sunnis have alleged is infiltrated by so-called Shiite death squads, for the killing. "We strongly condemn this act and we condemn the killings done by the Interior Ministry forces against Iraqis," he said.
The Interior Ministry had no comment on the claim. A photo of al-Obeidi provided by police showed his face, head and shoulders drenched in blood
