STORYLINE:
Saddam Hussein's former intelligence chief was dragged out of court and manhandled by guards on Monday after arguing with the judge.
Chief judge Raouf Abdel-Rahman ordered Barzan Ibrahim removed after he accused the court of "terrorising" the defence.
Iraqi guards grabbed Ibrahim by the arms and pulled him out and when he tried to shrug them off, they held his left arm and pushed him into a wall as they tried to hustle him out the door (CLIENTS, PLEASE NOTE THIS SEQUENCE WAS NOT ON THE POOL FEED), causing an uproar among the defence lawyers.
"They are beating him in front of your eyes. Right at the door," defence lawyer Mohammed Munib shouted to the judge.
Abdel-Rahman banged his gavel and lectured the defence to be quiet.
After the uproar, Saddam stood and sarcastically suggested the defence and defendants leave "if this will bring you calm and quiet and give you the opportunity to reach your verdicts. ... If my presence bothers you then I can withdraw and ask the defence team to withdraw as well."
Saddam and seven former members of his regime are on trial for charges of crimes against humanity in a crackdown against Shiites in the town of Dujail after a 1982 assassination attempt on Saddam.
They are accused of torturing women and children and wrongfully killing 148 Shiites sentenced to death for the attack on the former Iraqi leader.
It was the second time in two weeks that Ibrahim has been thrown out for arguing with Abdel-Rahman.
still alive.
