With anger mounting that Saddam Hussein had not been charged over his invasion of and use of chemical weapons against Iran, Iranian MPs called for the ousted Iraqi dictator to stand before an international court. "The crimes of Saddam, his cronies and his international supporters go beyond the national Iraqi framework and have an international dimension," said a statement signed by 256 deputies in the 290-seat Majlis.
