Iraq's interim government said Saturday it will step up security for the defense lawyers in Saddam Hussein's trial, after one of them was kidnapped at his office in Baghdad and killed by gunmen disguised as security forces. The body of the Sunni Arab defense lawyer, Saadoun Sughaiyer al-Janabi, was found dumped in a street of the capital on Friday with two bullet wounds in the head, hours after the gunmen took him from his office. That prompted the surviving defense lawyers to demand better security. "We have decided to take some measures to protect the lawyers. We cannot give any details regarding those measures for security reasons," Gen. Hussein Ali Kamal, a deputy minister in the Interior Ministry, told The Associated Press on Saturday. He and other government officials had met until late Friday night to consider the attorneys' demands.
