伊拉克过渡政府发言人库巴5日说，伊前总统萨达姆将受到12项指控，这些指控足够法庭对他进行量刑判决。此外库巴还承认，伊安全部队在巴格达及其郊区打击非法武装时，可能将无辜的逊尼派穆斯林当成了目标，至少有200人被误抓，包括逊尼派最大政党"伊拉克伊斯兰党"的领袖哈米德。外电报道如下：The Shiite-led Iraqi government acknowledged Sunday that its forces may have targeted innocent Sunni Muslims in a drive to crush the insurgency¹ in southwestern Baghdad and its suburbs. Saddam Hussein will go on trial within two months on a dozen charges of crimes against humanity, a spokesman for the prime minister said.

Authorities in the northern city of Mosul announced the arrest of yet another key terrorist leader of the al-Qaida in Iraq terrorist organization and its Ansar al-Sunnah affiliate², the second in seven days, on charges of organizing and financing killing³ sprees. The terrorist organization is led by Jordanian-born Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who carries a $25 million bounty⁴.

"There is an improvement in security and in the performance of the security forces, but members of the army and police do cause mistakes, which do happen," said Laith Kuba, a spokesman for Iraqi Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari.

Spree在此表示“放纵的行为”，此外还有“狂欢，纵饮”等含义，例如：a buying spree（疯狂购物）；be on the spree（沉湎于欢闹中）；go on the spree（痛饮）。

据悉，库巴在巴格达举行的新闻发布会上说，萨达姆面临500多项指控，而就每一项指控提起诉讼是“浪费时间”，因此将就12项“证据确凿”的指控进行诉讼审理。
