Prosecutors in Iraq have asked for the death penalty for ousted President Saddam Hussein and two of his co-defendants.
Saddam and seven co-defendants are on trial for the massacre of 148 Shi'ites in the town of Dujail in the 1980s.
During closing arguments today (Monday) in Baghdad, prosecutors asked that Saddam, his half-brother Barzan Ibrahim al-Tikriti, and former Vice President Taha Yassin Ramadan be sentenced to death.
Saddam sat silently and occasionally took notes as chief prosecutor Jaafar al-Moussawi delivered his arguments.
The arguments begin the final phase of proceedings in the eight-month-old trial. The defense is scheduled to present its closing arguments starting July 10th.
The trial includes charges of crimes against humanity for the crackdown on Shi'ites following an assassination attempt against Saddam in 1982.
