Saddam Hussein listens to a translation through headset as he sits in court during the continuation of his trail in Baghdad, December 6, 2006. Saddam turned up at his genocide trial on Wednesday, despite writing earlier to the chief judge and telling him he would no longer attend court sessions in protest at being repeated silenced from speaking. Saddam and six others are on trial for the Anfal -- Spoils of War -- military campaign against ethnic Kurds in northern Iraq in the 1980s in which prosecutors say up to 180,000 people were killed in poison gas attacks and mass executions.
