The head of the defence team of Saddam Hussein accused the US troops of preventing him and his colleagues from returning to Amman.
They were deprived of an access to the media and the world's legal organizations.
"The defence team members ... under a kind of confinement inside the Green Zone since Monday, while several experts, observers and journalists who attended the last session have been evacuated," Khalil Duleimi said in a letter e-mailed to the media in Amman.
