Saddam's victims ready to testify

    At least 10 victims of Saddam Hussein's brutal regime are to face the former dictator today and testify to his role in the 1982 killings of more than 140 people, officials close to the tribunal said.

    Iraqi national security adviser Mowaffak al-Rubaie's office said yesterday that police had foiled a Sunni plot to bomb the courthouse. The statement said the 1920 Revolution Brigades had planned to rocket the building, the Associated Press reported.
