BAGHDAD, Iraq_The brother-in-law and nephew of the new judge presiding over
Saddam Hussein's genocide trial were gunned down Friday morning in Baghdad,
police said.

Kadhim Abdul-Hussein and his son Karrar were fatally shot in their car in
the capital's western Ghazaliya neighborhood by unidentified assailants,
police 1st Lt. Thaer Mahmoud said. It was not immediately clear whether they
were targeted because they were related to Judge Mohammed Oreibi al-Khalifa,
who took over the Saddam trial last week, or if it was another of the
sectarian attacks that have been plaguing Baghdad.
