'Tareq Aziz will never testify against Saddam at trial'
A former top minister in Saddam Hussein's cabinet, Tareq Aziz, will never testify against the ex-Iraqi president when he goes on trial in Baghdad along with other members of the toppled regime, his lawyer said Saturday.
"Tareq Aziz told me that he would never attack Saddam Hussein during his trial, that it would not be right for him to do that," his attorney Badi Aref Izzat said in an interview in Paris.
"But if he is freed, he will write a book where he would tell what he knows. He knows he is innocent. Tareq Aziz is weak physically but strong politically," Izzat said.
