Saddam is charged with.. - Eternal Allegiance

The Iraqi special tribunal has laid its first formal charge against former President Saddam Hussein. It involves the killing of Shia Muslims in the village of Dujail, north of Baghdad, in 1982, after a failed assassination attempt against him.

This is not the most serious charge - only the one where the investigation has advanced most, says the BBC's Caroline Hawley in Baghdad.

A date for the start of the trial will be set in the next few days. The tribunal's chief investigating judge, Raed Juhi, said the investigation into the Dujail case was complete.

The announcement means the former president could stand trial in early September. Troops and helicopters attacked the Shia village 40km (25 miles) north of Baghdad after the assassination attempt failed. More than 140 residents were executed, hundreds more were tortured.
