"I wanted to go to the mass grave to see their bodies but they prevented me," said Omar Khidr Amin, a taxi driver who lost 19 relatives.

"I want to know what kind of Koran Saddam Hussein holds in his lap and how it is different from the kind in our mosques that he burned down," he said angrily before the judge silenced him.
