He is the same as the Iraqi army personnel and policemen who have been gunned down daily,\" he said.\u003cbr/\u003eAl-Obeidi, unlike most other lawyers involved in Saddam's trial, chose to continue to live in Baghdad despite the tenuous security and the killing of two members of the trial's defence team last year.\u003cbr/\u003eIn October 2005, a dozen masked gunmen abducted defence lawyer Saadoun al-Janabi from his Baghdad office, the day after the trial's opening session on 19 October.\u003cbr/\u003eHis body was found the next day with two bullets in his skull. \u003cbr/\u003eNearly three weeks later, defence lawyer Adel al-Zubeidi was assassinated in a brazen daylight ambush in Baghdad. \u003cbr/\u003eA colleague who was wounded fled the country. \u003cbr/\u003eAl-Obeidi was in his 50s and had six children, was the third member of Saddam's defence team to be killed since the former leader's trial began on October 19.\u003cbr/\u003eHe lived in the predominantly Sunni neighbourhood of Azamiyah in northern Baghdad.\u003cbr/\u003eSaddam Hussein and seven other men are charged with killing more than 140 people in the town of Dujail in 1982.\u003cbr/\u003eThey could face hanging if found guilty.\u003cbr/\u003eSunnis were dominant under Saddam's rule but lost power to majority Shiites after he was ousted in April
