US Investigators Search for Saddam’s Crimes
US Investigators have conducted their first scientific exhumation of Iraq’s “killing fields” in the northern Iraqi town of Hatra, Tuesday, 12 October, 2004, discovering hundreds of bodies, which they hope will help convict Saddam Hussein of crimes against humanity. They said nine trenches in a dry, dusty riverbed at the Hatra site in northern Iraq contain at least 300 bodies, including unborn babies as well as toddlers still clutching toys. (AFP)
