Prosecuters seeking to convict Saddam Hussein for war crimes made a significant breakthrough after Tariq Aziz, a former foreign minister and a close ally to the former Iraqi president, agreed to give evidence against his boss.
According to The Sunday Times, Aziz reportedly agreed to “co-operate fully” with American interrogators in return for leniency. Until this deal, Aziz was threatened to face the death penalty.
