The second trial of former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein will begin on August 21 on genocide charges stemming from a deadly campaign against Iraqi Kurds in the late 1980s, the Iraqi High Tribunal has announced. The tribunal charged the former Iraqi dictator with genocide in April, after investigative judge Ra'id Juhi announced investigators had completed their work gathering witnesses and evidence and were ready to go to trial, CNN reported. Hussein and six co-defendants -- including Ali Hassan al-Majeed, a former Iraqi general known as "Chemical Ali" -- will stand trial for genocide on charges relating to the so-called Anfal campaign.
