The trial of Saddam Hussein has resumed in Baghdad, with the questioning of his half-brother and co-defendant, Barzan Ibrahim al-Tikriti.
Saddam Hussein and seven co-defendants are being tried over the deaths of 148 Shia villagers in a crackdown following a 1982 assassination attempt.
Mr Tikriti, the former head of Iraq's intelligence agency, has been accused of torturing the villagers.
The former Iraqi leader and his co-accused face the death penalty if convicted for crimes against humanity. All deny the charges against them.
Previous trial sessions have been halted by protests from the defendants.
Saddam Hussein is expected to testify later on Wednesday.
