BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Saadoun Janabi, a lawyer for a former Iraqi judge who is standing trial along with Saddam Hussein, was kidnapped on Thursday, a senior legal source involved in the trial and police said.

Police earlier named him as Saadoun Dulaimi but other police sources also said his family name was Janabi. The legal source said he was an attorney for Awad al-Bander, who sat next to Saddam in the dock on the first day of the trial on Wednesday.
