Saddam to be handed over to special court: Bremer

[Emillereid]

Ousted dictator Saddam Hussein remains in Iraq and will be handed over to a special court being set up by the US-appointed Governing Council to face charges of genocide and invasion of neighbouring countries, US administrator Paul Bremer revealed.



"Saddam is in Iraq now, and yes he will be tried publicly by a special Iraqi court when the prerequisites for setting up such a court are completed," Bremer told Saturday's edition of the Arabic-language daily Asharq Al-Awsat.

Asked if Saddam was cooperating with investigators, Bremer replied: "He is not cooperating, but he is not a troublemaker either."


"He has not given us any important or useful information up to now and has not confessed to the whereabouts of his offshore funds, but we know for sure that he has a lot of money outside Iraq.",,,,,,,,,,,,,

This story seems to contradict an earlier report claiming that Hussein was providing useful information. Can't these guys keep their stories straight. Didn't think they'd want to take a chance with an international court.
