Chemical Ali to be hanged in Kurdistan
 BAGHDAD (AP) Saddam Hussein's cousin Ali Hassan al-Majid, known as "Chemical Ali," and two other regime officials will probably be hanged in Kurdistan if the appeals court upholds their death sentences, an Iraqi official said Tuesday. The official said no final decision had been taken but the executions would probably take place in either Irbil or Halabja.Death sentences are automatically appealed, and the appellate court faces no time limit in reviewing cases. If the sentences are upheld, executions are supposed to take place within 30 days. Posted by: 2007-06-28 |
