Lawsuit against Saddam for killing 64 family members of Al-Hakim

By: Ismail Zabeeh

BAGHDAD, Iraq: Sayyed Abdul Aziz Al-Hakim, son of late Grand Marjay of Shiia World Sayyed Mohsin At-Tabatabai Al-Hakim and chairman Supreme council for Islamic Revolution in Iraq, has said he was going to file a complaint against ousted tyrant Saddam for killing 64 members of his respected clerical family.

Al-Hakim said he hoped, not least for personal reasons, that Saddam himself would soon be given a quick trial in Iraq followed by execution.

"There is no doubt Saddam deserves more than just execution," he said. "I am among those who are going to file a complaint for killing 64 members of my family.

"For these crimes alone ... he deserves 64 executions."

Al-Hakim who is one of Iraq's most powerful leaders ruled out any dialogue with terrorists and said they "must be terminated".

"The terrorist groups have revealed their purpose, which is creating sectarian strife, and stand in the way of the political process and building the new Iraq," Hakim said.

His statement came after nearly three-dozen mourning devotees were martyred on Wednesday and Thursday in eight powerful bomb attacks that ripped through husseiniyah Al-bu Jomah, husseiniyah alhaj Abdor-Rasol Ali and other venues in Al-Karadah and Ash-Shola districts in Baghdad.

The attacks were conducted while husseiniyaat and mosques were filled with mourners attending majales Al-azaiyah marking the martyrdom anniversary of Sayyedah Fatimah Az-Zahra (peace be upon her), daughter of holy Prophet (peace be upon him and his pure progeny).

"These terrorists must be terminated."

Al-Hakim has urged all Iraqis particularly Shia majority not to be provoked into civil war against their brethren and said those opponents with political aims were welcome in negotiations.

But Hakim made clear he saw most violence now as the work of Saddam's Baathist followers set on recovering power and groups like al Qaeda's Iraqi wing, led by Jordanian Abu Musab Az-Zarqawi, and Ansar As-Sunna.

"There is no way to open a dialogue with these terrorists. They are not a political movement and their differences with us are not political," Hakim said, adding that he was happy to see an Iraqi constitution, currently being drafted, that reflected present, US-sponsored, interim arrangements.
