Iraqi Court Reaches Deal With Hussein's Lawyers - New York Times:

"The lawyers imposed the boycott after a group of armed men dragged one of the attorneys who appeared at the court’s opening session last month from his office in east Baghdad and shot him dead, less than 36 hours after the televised trial began. Two weeks ago, the second lawyer was killed in a drive-by shooting in west Baghdad , and a third, injured in that attack, subsequently fled Iraq for sanctuary in Qatar. There have been no arrests in either attack."
