Saddam to be put in the dock within days

AFP, Baghdad
Saddam Hussein will be hauled in chains before an Iraqi judge within days to hear his arrest warrant and the ousted president will be guarded by Iraqis with limited support from the US military, top Iraqi officials said Sunday.
"We're going to have control of Saddam Hussein," Iraq's national security advisor Muwaffaq al-Rubaie told the US television network CBS.
"We're going to have two American military MPs to hand him over to four Iraqi policemen. They will put a chain (on him) and take him to the waiting room," Rubaie said.
"The judge will call his name, Saddam Hussein Majid. And they will bring him in... open his chain, handcuff and take him to the judge and the judge is going to give him his rights and his defence and he's going to issue an arrest warrant against Saddam Hussein.
Rubaie said Saddam will be hauled in the dock "in a couple of days time, probably."
Interim prime minister Iyad Allawi meanwhile said Saddam "will be kept by Iraqis...
"We may ask a multinational force to be involved in the protection of the outside, of the outskirts of the prison, but definitely he will be under the jurisdiction of Iraq," he said.
"You will see him move and you will know where he is," Allawi told a small group of reporters.
But US Secretary of State Colin Powell said the ex-dictator would remain in the physical custody of US forces for the foreseeable future.
In an interview with CNN from Turkey ahead of a Nato summit in Istanbul, the chief US diplomat made the distinction between transferring legal responsibility for Saddam to the Iraqis and actually keeping him under guard.
Allawi, however, appeared convinced he has the manpower to hold the ex-president securely.
"We have the forces, we have the judicial system," he said.
"He is going to court and it will be a just trial unlike the trials he gave for the Iraqi people... and he will face whatever the Iraqi judicial system decides."
The prime minister declined to specify whether Saddam, who executed tens of thousands of his own people during a brutal dictatorship, could also receive the death penalty.
"I am going to endorse what the judicial system decides," Allawi said.
Rubaie vowed the trial of Saddam would not turn into a replay of the war crimes trial of former Yugoslav leader Slobodan Milosevic at The Hague, in which he
could grandstand and appeal to the sympathies of people back home.
"We have put some restriction on the political discussion. Basically this is going to be purely his criminal acts," Rubaie said.
The Shia Muslim political leader then recited the alleged crimes that the jailed dictator would be judged for.
"Saddam Hussein, why did you kill Sadr?" he asked, referring to Grand Ayatollah Mohammad Sadeq Sadr assassinated in 1999, allegedly by the former regime.
"Why did you kill tens of clergy? Why did you kill tens of thousands of people? Why did you commit the massacres? Why did you use the chemical weapons against our people in Kurdistan? Why did you start the Iran-Iraq war? Why did you invade Kuwait? Why did you bring this country all of these miseries?"
Saddam is currently being held under tight security at Camp Cropper -- a US military detention centre on Iraq's former international airport, according to a humanitarian organisation.
The camp is reportedly set for closure.
An unkempt, long-haired and bearded Saddam was captured by US forces on December 13, after he was found hiding in a hole on a farm near his northern hometown of Tikrit.
