Terror trial of Iraq VP postponed over witnesses

None

A lawyer for Iraq's fugitive vice president says a judge has adjourned his trial on terror charges, adding that the proceedings will resume once a higher court decides whether the defense can question the country's president and five lawmakers.

 

The lawyer, Muyyiad Obeid al-Ezzi, said Baghdad's Criminal Court adjourned Sunday's trial to wait for a federal court ruling on whether President Jalal Talabani can be summoned as a character witness. (AP)
