Saddam shown videos of mass graves
GETHIN CHAMBERLAIN
INTERROGATORS trying to get Saddam Hussein to confess to his crimes have shown him video recordings of mass graves, torture and executions in the hope that they can break his spirit.
The former Iraqi leader, who is being held in the Baghdad area, has also been shown footage of anti-Saddam protests, although US officials said his initial response had been disappointing.
Two officials with access to interrogation reports told the USA Today newspaper that the video technique was being used in a bid to provoke Saddam into making unguarded statements. One official said interrogators were analysing his every "sweat gland, word and twitch".
The Iraqi Governing Council yesterday denied reports that US forces had moved Saddam to the Gulf state of Qatar for the interrogation. A council member, Mowaffaq al-Rubaie, said: "There is no proof or confirmed information on this. Saddam is still in Iraq ... God willing … he will be tried in Iraq in public by an Iraqi court."
Another council member, Adnan Pachachi, said the US administrator, Paul Bremer, had categorically denied Saddam had been taken out of the country. US officials have said in public only that Saddam, captured by US forces near Tikrit on Saturday, was at an "undisclosed location".
The arrest has failed to bring a respite from violence. Yesterday a petrol tanker exploded in al-Bayaa, a poor south-western district of Baghdad, killing at least ten Iraqis.
Iraqi police said the tanker had been packed with explosives and might have been driven by a suicide bomber planning to attack a nearby police station.
However, eyewitnesses said the tanker’s petrol exploded when police opened fire on the vehicle. US forces said the explosion was caused by a traffic accident. About 20 people were injured in the incident.
Ahmed Kadhim Ibrahim, the deputy interior minister, said the dead were Iraqis, and that the lorry’s driver had planned to strike the police station.
A charred, crumpled bus lay in the intersection after the blast.
"I was leaving home when I heard an explosion and saw vehicles burning at al-Bayaa intersection," said Ahmed Ayyoub, 23, a bus driver.
"I ran to the place to see if there were people injured. There were lots of human remains on the sidewalks and we started collecting them."
The rescue effort was more difficult because it was still dark at the time, he added.
Despite the coalition’s major victory over the weekend with Saddam’s capture, violence has continued in predominantly Sunni areas west and north of Baghdad, once Saddam’s power base.
Violent protests in Ramadi and Fallujah followed a period of relative quiet, although attacks on US troops there are occurring less often than in early November.
In the northern city of Mosul, assailants shot and killed a policeman who was on his way to work, and Iraqi security forces there opened fire on pro-Saddam protesters, injuring nine, witnesses said.
With attacks on coalition troops showing no signs of abating, US forces north of Baghdad staged a raid in the town of Samarra, detaining at least a dozen guerrilla suspects after catching almost 80 others, including an alleged rebel financier.
The 4th Infantry Division, which was responsible for the capture of Saddam, launched the raids, codenamed Operation Ivy Blizzard, with the assistance of Iraqi forces.
Backed by armoured vehicles and Apache helicopters, US troops conducted door-to-door searches designed to stamp out guerrilla resistance. At least a dozen people were detained.
"Samarra has been a little bit of a thorn in our side," said US army Colonel Nate Sassanan.
"It hasn’t come along as quickly as other cities in the rebuilding of Iraq. This operation is designed to bring them up to speed."
As US officials are questioning Saddam, further charges are being added to the list of crimes he could face at trial.
The United Nations secretary general, Kofi Annan, said yesterday fresh evidence suggested that most, if not all, Kuwaitis who disappeared after Iraq invaded its oil-rich neighbour in August 1990 were killed.
"After many years of manoeuvring and denial by the previous government of Iraq, a grim truth is unveiling itself," he said. "The discovery of mass graves in Iraq containing the remains of Kuwaitis is a gruesome and devastating development."
