Mass grave found near âChemical Aliâsâ old home
London: Kurdish peshmergas discovered yesterday a mass grave in a field close to the old home of Ali Hassan al-Majid, nicknamed "Chemical Ali." According to the Knight Ridder News agency, human remains were found in four deep trenches, surrounded by barbed-wire fences, about 100 yards from a compound that belonged to Ali Hassan al Majid, who led a chemical weapons campaign that killed tens of thousands of Kurds in south Kurdistan.
