World boycotting Saddam trial: Rice
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice bitterly accused the world community of boycotting the trial of deposed Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.
In a speech to the Heritage Foundation think tank on Tuesday, Rice named no countries for the lack of support for the trial of Saddam and seven henchman charged in a 1982 massacre of Shia villagers.
"The international community's effective boycott of Saddam's trial is only harming the Iraqi people who are now working to secure the hope of justice and freedom that Saddam long denied them," Rice said.
