In Baghdad a judge on the special tribunal set up to try ex-President Saddam Hussein has been shot dead. The gunmen also killed his son, a lawyer, who also was on the special tribunal staff.
Nobody has any doubt as to the outcome of the trial of the toppled Iraqi dictator, but much depends on how the process would be run. Experts indicate that if the trial will be closed and conducted with irregularities, many Iraqis would see ex-president as a martyr. This would play into the hand of those who oppose the construction of a peaceful Iraq. The outcome of the process could also affect Iraqi people's attitude toward the US and its allies.
