Legal documents transferring sovereignty were handed over by US Governor Paul Bremer to chief justice Midhat al-Mahmood in a small ceremony attended by about a dozen Iraqi and Coalition officials, in a building inside the heavily-guarded Green Zone in Baghdad. Bremer had taken charge in Iraq about a year earlier. Two hours after the ceremony, he left Iraq on a US Air Force C-130 plane, accompanied by coalition spokesman Dan Senor and close members of his staff. \u003cbr/\u003eThere was little initial public reaction to the near-secret transfer ceremony, which was broadcast on Iraqi and Arabic satellite television stations, and no celebratory gunfire. The new interim Iraqi government was sworn in six hours after the handover ceremony. The Arab world voiced cautious optimism but maintained calls for the US military to leave the country quickly. Interim Prime Minister Iyad Allawi delivered a sweeping speech sketching out some of his goals for the country, urging people not to be afraid of the \"outlaws\" fighting against \"Islam and Muslims,\" and assuring them that \"God is with us.\" \u003cbr/\u003eBaghdad - 28 June 2004\u003cbr/\u003eExterior of building with Iraqi flag\u003cbr/\u003eUPSOUND (English) Paul Bremer, Coalition administrator in Iraq: \u003cbr/\u003e\"We welcome Iraq's steps to take its rightful place with equality and honour among the free nations of the world.

During In his first public appearance since he was captured seven months earlier, Saddam told the judge: \"this is all theatre, the real criminal is Bush.\" Saddam was handcuffed when brought to the court but the shackles were removed for the 30-minute arraignment at Camp Victory, one of his former palaces on the outskirts of Baghdad. The seven broad charges against Saddam are the killing of religious figures in 1974; gassing of Kurds in Halabja in 1988; killing the Kurdish Barzani clan in 1983; killing members of political parties in the last 30 years; the 1986-88 \"Anfal\" campaign of displacing Kurds; the suppression of the 1991 uprisings by Kurds and Shiites; and the 1990 invasion of Kuwait. The trial is not expected to start until 2005.\u003cbr/\u003eEleven of the former dictator's top lieutenants appeared in court after Saddam, including former Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Aziz, the regime's best-known spokesman in the West, and Ali Hasan al-Majid, known as \"Chemical Ali.\" US and Iraqi officials hope the trials in 2005 will help the country recover from years of tyranny, the US-led invasion and the insurgency that blossomed in its aftermath. But the new Iraqi government is due to step down after elections in January, and a second national ballot will be held later next year. That means national policy on prosecuting Saddam and his followers could change depending on the makeup of the next government.\u003cbr/\u003eIraqis poured into cafes to watch Saddam historic court appearance. Reaction was mixed in the capital, Baghdad. In the mainly Shiite cities of Karbala and Hilla, many people were jubilant that the country's former dictator had appeared in court. Iraq's Shiites had often suffered at the hands of his regime, and people spoken to APTN said they were seeing justice, at last. Supporters of Moqtada al-Sadr in the Shiite city of Kazimiya took to the streets after prayers, chanting pro-Sadr slogans and calling for the execution of Saddam. But there were expressions of support for Saddam from some quarters. A day after his appearance in court, hundreds of people took to the streets of the Iraqi town of Samarra in support of their former president. Samarra is around 100 kilometres (62 miles) north of Baghdad and is just south of Saddam's hometown, Tikrit. \u003cbr/\u003eBaghdad - 1 July 2004\u003cbr/\u003eWider shot of Saddam Hussein and judge \u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE (Arabic) Saddam Hussein, former Iraqi President: \u003cbr/\u003e\"Please allow me not to sign until the lawyers are present.''\u003cbr/\u003eMid shot of Saddam\u003cbr/\u003eMid shot of judge\u003cbr/\u003eBaghdad, 1 July 2004\u003cbr/\u003eMid shot of Saddam Hussein\u003cbr/\u003eClose up of Saddam\u003cbr/\u003eBaghdad - 1July 2004\u003cbr/\u003eTariq Aziz listening to judge in court\u003cbr/\u003eAziz's hands in shackles\u003cbr/\u003eAziz gestures to the judge\u003cbr/\u003eAziz signs his indictment papers\u003cbr/\u003eAli Hasan al-Majid (known as \"Chemical Ali\") talks to the judge\u003cbr/\u003eClose up of al-Majid\u003cbr/\u003eTaha Yassin Ramadan, former Iraqi vice-president listening to the judge \u003cbr/\u003eBaghdad, 1 July 2004\u003cbr/\u003eVarious shots of Iraqis watching Saddam Hussein in court on television\u003cbr/\u003eSaddam in court on the television screen\u003cbr/\u003eClose up Saddam on screen\u003cbr/\u003eKarbala - 1 July 2004\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE (Arabic) vox-pop: \u003cbr/\u003e\"Where are you know Saddam?
