Saddam trial lawyer is found dead
Sadoun Nasouaf al-Janabi as the trial of Saddam Hussein and co-defendants opened
Mr Janabi's identity had not been kept secret
A lawyer who was defending an associate of Saddam Hussein has been found shot dead after he was abducted in Baghdad.
Sadoun Nasouaf al-Janabi, who was seized by gunmen at his office in the Iraqi capital on Thursday evening, had been shot in the head.
The killing has fuelled claims that it will be impossible for the former Iraqi leader to get a fair trial.
Mr Janabi was acting for one of Saddam Hussein's co-defendants, Awad Hamed al-Bandar, a former top judge.
The lawyer's body was found outside the city's Firdous mosque.
The Iraqi government condemned the killing.
Is it Saddam's folks trying to cause a little havok?
