BROM: Eric S. Edelman, Under Secretary of Defense for Policy pir SUBJECT: Verdict in Saddam Hussein's Trial 11/3
• 68) The Iraqi High Tribunal is expected to announce the verdict in the first trial against Saddam Hussein on Sunday, November 5, 2006. A death sentence is possible.
- Saddam and his co-defendants are accused of crimes against humanity stemming from retaliation for a failed assassination attempt in the village of Al-Dujayl.
- At least 148 villagers were executed, others died as a result of torture during their investigation, and hundreds of others were arrested and detained without charge for several years.
• (5) Should the court deliver a death sentence, it is unlikely the order would be carried out quickly. Iraqi law requires execution of sentence within 30 days after the judgment becomes final, but there is a mandatory appeal for all death sentences to a higher court.
- Saddam is charged or under investigation in a number of other pending cases, including the ongoing trial focused on genocide of the Kurds during 1987-1988.
- In light of these cases, the appeals chamber may take its time in ruling on an appeal, to allow the other trials to proceed.
