Iran, Kuwait Delighted Over Saddam's Capture
Jerusalem (CNSNews.com) - Iran and Kuwait, which suffered tremendously during the regime of Saddam Hussein, both expressed their delight on Sunday at the former dictator's capture by U.S. troops outside of Tikrit.

Iranian Vice President Mohammad Ali Abtahi said that Saddam should be put on trial for the crimes he had committed against both the Iraqi and Iranian people.

Iran and Iraq fought a brutal war during most of the eighties, and Saddam even used chemical weapons against the Iranians.

"Iranians have suffered a lot because of him, and mass graves in Iraq prove the crimes he has committed against the Iraqi people. The...arrest of a criminal has made me very happy," Abtahi was quoted as saying.

Abtahi, whose country was overrun by Saddam in 1990, also expressed his satisfaction that Saddam had been captured alive "so he can be tried for the heinous crimes he has committed."

Kuwaiti Information Minister Mohammed Abulhassan said this was the moment the Kuwaitis had been waiting for.

Jordanian government spokeswoman Asma Khader was quoted as saying that the most important thing was "the safety and security of the Iraqi people" as well as "the restoration of political stability in that brotherly Arab nation."
