"The defence team is studying the possibility of filing a lawsuit against the U.S. and its administration at the International
Court of Justice . . . Ziad al Khasawneh said on Monday.
[He] accused the United States of mass killings and of violating the Geneva Convention, and cited the actions of U.S. soldiers
and their allies in Fallujah and other Iraqi cities.
Khasawneh, a member of Saddam's Jordan-based defence team, said the international court did not accept cases filed by individuals.
The team was therefore trying to file a case through members of the former Iraqi government.
"We continue to stress that Saddam is the legitimate
president of Iraq and his government is the only government that represents Iraqis, thus any member of this regime is able
to file the suit," he told Reuters.
