In total, charges were brought on 13 counts. First of all, the court will consider charges against Hussein and seven former high-ranking officials of the country in the extermination of more than 140 Shiites in 1982. The process is being conducted by representatives of Iraqi justice, and the United States will only provide them with the necessary assistance. However, Hussein's supporters are precisely against the American authorities. They spoke out on behalf of the Baath Party ruling in Iraq with a call for jihad against the aggressors from the United States.
