BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The first woman to testify in the trial of Saddam Hussein broke down in tears on Tuesday as, in fear of her life, she testified behind a curtain about how she was forced to strip by Iraqi prison guards. 

With her voice distorted by computer to protect her identity, "Witness A" spoke only briefly before technical problems with the sound equipment prompted a short recess after Saddam's defence team said they could not hear the evidence.
