BAGHDAD — Tariq Aziz, former deputy prime minister and the international face of the Iraqi regime under Saddam Hussein, goes on trial Tuesday over his purported role in the execution of 42 Baghdad merchants in 1992.
Aziz and seven other henchmen of the deposed and hanged dictator are accused of executing the merchants after blaming them for raising food prices when Iraq was under U.N. sanctions.
