BAGHDAD, Nov 7 (Reuters) - Two days after being sentenced to hang for crimes against humanity, ousted Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein was back in court on Tuesday to face genocide charges against ethnic Kurds in the 1980s in a separate trial.

An appellate court will review Saddam's death sentence, meaning no execution is likely before next year.
