AMMAN, Jordan - Two lawyers for Saddam Hussein said Monday that the former Iraqi president‘s half brother claims U.S. officials offered him a ranking government position in Iraq if he testified against Saddam but he rejected a deal.
American officials could not be reached for comment Monday, which was a U.S. holiday.
The report first appeared in an interview with Saddam‘s chief Iraqi lawyer, Khalil al-Dulaimi, that was published Monday in the independent Jordanian newspaper Al Arab Al Yawm.
Dulaimi, who is in Baghdad, and the second lawyer said they were present in the courtroom when Ibrahim made his claim.
Ibrahim was captured in April 2003 shortly after U.S. troops took Baghdad.
