lawyer Khalil al-Dulaimi, who attended the court appearance, insisted the allegation was true and demanded the government acknowledges it. He also insisted the Iraqi special tribunal apologise for the incident, guarantee the safety of Saddam and other former regime figures during future appearances, and punish the alleged attacker. Mr Dulaimi said Saddam's lawyers would stop attending any further proceedings "until our demands are met".
So, are they abusing the process to delay the start of the trial or are they leaving their client without representation as the court proceeds regardless of their "boycott." If it's the first and the strategy works will we see defense attorneys all over the world "boycotting" court proceedings to buy their clients more time?
