BAGHDAD, IRAQ (AP):

SADDAM HUSSEIN'S The new chief judge in the trial, Raouf Abdel-Rahman, sought to show a tough control over the court and pressed ahead with the proceedings even after the opening drama, hearing three prosecution witnesses.

After the four-and-a-half-hour session, the judge adjourned until Wednesday, though he said if that day turns out to be a public holiday, the trial will resume Thursday.
