The notorius cousin of Saddam Hussein has been executed in Iraq. Ali Hassan al-Majid who was affectionately known as “Chemical Ali’ was executed monday for his role in using chemical weapons on the Kurdish town of Halabja which resulted in the deaths of more than 5,000 innocent Kurds back in 1988. This was the largest number of people ever killed an a chemical attack
Ali was sentenced to death for his involvement in four seperate incidents. In other words he had four different death sentences on his head. For justice to really be done he would have to be revived and executed three more times. Ali was held in US custody until about a day before his execution when he was turned over to the Iraqis.
There was a rush of suicide bombings in Iraq just as he was executed. Three seperate bombings at the Sheraton, Babylon, and Hamra hotels resulted in 37 people killed and 104 injured. http://www.militaryringexpress.com
