Iraqi appeal court upholds Saddam death sentence

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - An Iraqi appeals court on Tuesday upheld a ruling that Saddam Hussein should hang for crimes against humanity, the head of the Iraqi High Tribunal said.



Tribunal head Aref Abdul-Razzaq al-Shahin told a news conference in Baghdad that the death sentence against Saddam should be carried out within the next 30 days.

"The appeal court has approved the death sentence. They (the government) has the right to choose the date starting from tomorrow up to 30 days. After 30 days it will be an obligation to implement the sentence," he said.

Saddam, 69, and two others, including his half-brother, were sentenced to death on November 5 for crimes against humanity over the killings of 148 Shi'ites from the town of Dujail after he escaped assassination there in 1982.

U.N. human rights experts have called on Iraq's government not to carry out the death sentence, saying Saddam's trial was seriously flawed.

Saddam's half-brother, Barzan al-Tikriti, and former judge Awad al-Bander also received the death penalty for their part in the killing, torture and deporting of hundreds of Dujailis. The court also rejected their appeals.

Saddam is now on trial with six others for genocide against ethnic Kurds in a military campaign in northern Iraq in the 1980s. Shahin said the trial would continue without Saddam.

Many human rights and legal experts have argued that Saddam could not get a fair trial in a country torn by sectarian violence that has killed tens of thousands of Iraqis.

In the latest violence, bombs killed more than 30 people in Baghdad, including 15 in western Adhamiya district, a Sunni area. Earlier, a triple car bombing in a Shi'ite area killed 16.

The U.S. military reported the deaths of six more American soldiers in Iraq, bringing the U.S. death toll to at least 2,978 -- five more than the number killed in the September 11 attacks.

At least 89 U.S. soldiers have died so far this month, making it the deadliest this year after October's toll of 106, and increasing pressure on President George W. Bush to find a strategy to extricate 135,000 U.S. troops from the war.
