Baghdad, IRAQ: Former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein sits in the dock during the third day of the Anfal Campaign trial in Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone, August 23, 2006. Six more Iraqi Kurds are to testify against Hussein September 11, 2006 -- the day the United States mourns victims of 9/11 attacks -- when his genocide trial resumes after a three-week break. The sight of Saddam back in the dock on the fifth anniversary of the attacks will fuel the debate in America over the motivations of the US-led invasion, which overthrew the former Iraqi leader and led to his arrest. This row was revived yesterday when a US Senate report concluded that Saddam had no links with al-Qaeda prior to the 9/11 attacks, as had been repeatedly implied by President George W. Bush's administration.
