Plot to Rocket Saddam Trial Uncovered By tpelia@yahoo.com (Tom Elia) on Iraq The New Editor From AP: <<< Iraq's national security adviser said Sunday that authorities uncovered a plot by a Sunni Arab insurgent group to fire rockets at the court building where Saddam Hussein's trial resumes this week. A statement released by Mouwaffak al-Rubaie's office said a group called the 1920 Revolution Brigades planned to attack the building during Monday's court session. The statement said Iraqi intelligence uncovered the plot but gave no further details and did not say whether anyone had been arrested. ... Also Sunday, former Iraqi Prime Minister Ayad Allawi said he survived an assassination attempt as a group of about 60 men armed with pistols, knives and swords tried to attack him while he prayed in a Shiite holy city in southern Iraq. Allawi, a secular Shiite, said the group wore black uniforms and were chanting slogans against him as they moved toward his delegation at the Shrine of Imam Ali in Najaf. Footage shown on television stations showed Allawi running from the shrine as shoes and stones were thrown at him. Allawi said at least seven bullets were fired from the crowd. "They were planning to kill the whole delegation, or at least me," Allawi told reporters shortly after he arrived back in Baghdad. "One of them took out his pistol, but he panicked and it fell from his hand." Earlier in the day, police said that about a dozen people, some of them carrying clubs, tried to prevent Allawi from entering the shrine. Allawi's bodyguards fired shots in the air to disperse the crowd. >>> theneweditor.com news.yahoo.com
