I'll make a note of that. Thanks. CNN Pipeline is carrying video feed with 20-minute delay. Saddam is arguing with the judge about his name, as usual.

ADN Kronos (Excerpt) -

Baghdad, 21 August (AKI) - The second trial against the former Iraqi leader, Saddam Hussein is set to begin on Monday in a court in the Iraqi capital Baghdad. The case this time is in connection with Operation Anfal - an anti-Kurdish offensive in 1987 and 1988 which is said to have led to the deaths of about 100,000 people. Seven defendants including Ali Hassan al Majid, Saddam's cousin, who is known as "Chemical Ali", face charges of war crimes and/or genocide.
Operation Anfal, or "Spoils of War", targeted Kurdish independence militias which the Iraqi dictator believed were helping Iran.
