Saddam Hussein will face charges of genocide over the gassing of thousands of civilians in the village of Halabja almost 20 years ago, a judge said today.
Investigative judge Raid Juhi said the charges against the deposed Iraqi president and six others had been filed with another judge, who will review the evidence and order a trial date.
I think is action in Halabja was much closer to a simple mass murder than genocide, but if using a fancy name make the prosecutor happy, why not use it.
