<<Mr Amin said that during his visit he was approached by Barzan al-Tikriti, who was standing next to Ali Hassan al-Majid. "Mr Minister, what am I doing here?" Mr al-Tikriti said. "I am not like the others, I am not like Ali Hassan al-Majid. Please tell that to [the Kurdish leaders] Massoud Barzani and Jalal Talabani and to Ayad Allawi [the new prime minister]."

Mr al-Tikriti was once head of Saddam's intelligence service and is suspected of involvement in the murder of several thousand members of the Barzani clan in the 1980s. "I tried to control my emotions, but to be honest I wanted to vomit," Mr Amin said.

"There before me were the men responsible for the industrial pain of Iraq - mass murderers who were responsible for turning Iraq into a land of mass graves."

But he insisted: "There will be a just trial and a fair trial, unlike the trials that he inflicted on his enemies, on the Iraqi people." >>
