Iran said today it has prepared a complaint against former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein for his 1980 invasion of Iran and for using chemical weapons against Iranians during the neighbouring nations' eight-year war. Tehran will file the documents with the Iraqi court where Saddam is standing trial, Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi said. Iran expects Saddam will face judgment in an open trial for war crimes against it, Asefi underlined. Saddam Hussein and 11 of his most senior aides appeared before a special court in Baghdad Thursday to hear official charges against them ranging from crimes against humanity to genocide.
