The Iraqi Special Tribunal in charge of trying Saddam Hussein for alleged war crimes announced Sunday that it had completed its investigation into the first case to be brought against him.

The tribunal’s chief judge, Raid Juhi, said the panel had referred the case to the courts for trial. If found guilty, Hussein could be sentenced to death. The case involves the 1982 execution of about 150 residents of the Shiite Muslim town of Dujayl after a group of them fired on Hussein’s motorcade as it drove through.
