CAIRO (Reuters) - Arabs showed little sympathy for Saddam Hussein as he went on trial on Wednesday but many said the court trying the toppled Iraqi leader would not give him a fair hearing because it was set up under U.S. occupation. 

"Everyone knows that the trial is an American game, but the truth must come out," said Mohammad Abdullah Majrashi, a 56-year-old retired government employee in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
