AMMAN, Jordan, AP -Saddam Hussein”s family said Monday it has dissolved his Jordan-based legal team, canceling the power of attorney it had given to international lawyers in a move seen as reorganizing Saddam”s legal counsel ahead of his upcoming trial.
In an "urgent" statement, Saddam”s family said it has appointed Iraqi lawyer Khalil Duleimi as Saddam”s "one and sole legal counsel." Duleimi was part of the Jordan-based legal team for the past year and attended some of Saddam”s initial court hearings in Baghdad.
