BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraqi prosecutors on Monday asked a judge to sentence Saddam Hussein to death for his role in the killings of 148 villagers after a 1982 assassination attempt in the village of Dujail.

The chief judge overseeing the trial of ousted Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein has ruled that no more defense witnesses can be called to give evidence.

Judge Rauf Abdel Rahman adjourned the case until Monday, when he said closing arguments would begin.

"You've presented 62 witnesses. If that's not enough to present your case, then 100 won't work," he said.

Read the PDF in the message, it's just a few pages but chillingly descriptive about exactly what we have turned Iraq into.
