Saddam Hussein returned to court for his genocide trial Tuesday, two days after another panel convicted him of crimes against humanity and sentenced him to hang. Saddam Hussein, wearing a black suit and white shirt with a handkerchief, found his way quietly to his seat among the other six defendants charged in the Operation Anfal crackdown against Iraqi Kurds in the late 1980s. The chief judge then convened the session and called the first witness, Qahar Khalil Mohammed, the Associated Press reported. On Sunday, another five-judge panel convicted Saddam Hussein in the deaths of nearly 150 Shiite Muslims following a 1982 assassination attempt against him in the town of Dujail in 1982.
