Saddam Hussein was hospitalized and fed with a tube yesterday, the 17th day of a hunger strike, to ensure he was healthy enough to continue with his trial, the chief prosecutor said. The procedure came as the former leader's troubled trial nears a verdict that could lead to his hanging.

The hunger strike was launched to demand better security for the defense team. The defense rejected an offer of the same security provided to the judges and prosecution lawyers.
