The judge who will preside over the trial of Saddam Hussein on charges of
crimes against humanity was named on Wednesday by U.S. officials, shortly before
the trial opened, as Rizgar Mohammed Amin.
Amin, an ethnic Kurd in his late 40s from the northern city of Sulaimaniya,
had previously confirmed his role privately to reporters. He was named in an
information sheet handed to reporters at the courtroom by U.S.
officials.
