Quote:
Iraq court begins Saddam verdict
The court in Baghdad trying Saddam Hussein for crimes against humanity has begun handing down verdicts to his seven co-defendants.
The first, Baath Party official Mohammed Azawi Ali, has been acquitted.
A further three, not yet named, were all found guilty over the killing of 148 villagers in the mostly Shia town of Dujail and each jailed for 15 years.
Saddam Hussein is expected to be the last defendant to receive a verdict and could face execution if convicted.
