Lawyers say US jailers seek to break Saddam's will

AMMAN, July 23 (Reuters) Saddam Hussein's chief defence lawyer today accused US military authorities of force feeding the toppled leader to make him end a 16-day strike.

''The US military are force feeding the president to break his will and end his hunger strike to protest against the trial and its illegality,'' Khalil Dulaimi told Reuters.
