PARIS - The French lawyer known for defending Nazi war criminal Klaus Barbie and guerrilla Carlos the Jackal said on Saturday that Saddam Hussein’s nephew had chosen him to represent the deposed Iraqi president.

Jacques Verges told Reuters in a telephone interview he had received a letter from Ali Barzan al-Tikriti, whose father Barzan al-Tikriti is Saddam’s half-brother, asking him to defend the former Iraqi dictator, captured by U.S. forces in December.

Saddam trial 'will not be fair'

A controversial French lawyer appointed by Saddam Hussein to defend him has said a fair trial would be impossible.

Jacques Verges, who made his reputation defending some of the world's most notorious figures, told the BBC he feared for the ex-Iraqi leader's life.

In his long career, Mr Verges has defended Nazi war criminal Klaus Barbie, Carlos the Jackal and former Yugoslav leader Slobodan Milosevic.

He says Saddam Hussein's nephew wrote to him enlisting his services.

Mr Verges says he will also defend former Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Aziz. He will be supported by a dozen other French lawyers to mount a defence case.

If it won't be fair does that mean we can skip it & just leave the car batteries hooked up to his testicles?
