International activists and lawyers involved in the defence of Saddam Hussein say they will hold a mock trial of George Bush, the US president, and the British and Israeli prime ministers for alleged war crimes committed in Iraq and the Palestinian territories.

The prosecution will be headed by General Ramsey Clark, the former US attorney-general, who sits on Saddam's defence team, according to one of the organisers.

The two-day event, set to open on Friday in the Egyptian capital, will be sponsored by the Cairo-based Federation of Arab Lawyers.

It will bring together international lawyers and human rights activists including Ahmed Ben Bella, the former Algerian president, and ex-Malaysian leader Mahathir Mohamad.

4. Exactly, Bush and Blair must stand trial for their war crimes

and their punishment should be no less than the one imposed on the Nazi war criminals at the end of World War II.
