The Iraqi High Tribunal has found Saddam Hussein guilty of crimes against humanity and sentenced him to death, today.
Hussein's former vice-president Taha Yassin Ramadan was sentenced to life imprisonment for his role in the killings of 148 Shi'a villagers.
Prosecutors recommended death by hanging for Saddam, who was expected to be summoned to court later,

The Iraqi High Tribunal acquitted a local Baath party official for crimes against humanity in a session in which Saddam Hussein is also expected to hear a verdict.
