Iraq's 'Chemical Ali' sentenced to death for third time
« on: March 02, 2009, 04:54:06 PM »

Ali Hassan al-Majid, aka "Chemical Ali", sentenced over the murder of Shiite Muslims 10 years ago.
Quote
An Iraqi court has condemned Saddam Hussein's notorious henchman "Chemical Ali" Hassan al-Majid to his third death sentence over the murder of Shiite Muslims 10 years ago.

However, the Iraqi High Tribunal acquitted former deputy prime minister Tareq Aziz, 73, long regarded as Saddam's spokesman to the outside world, on the same charges of crimes against humanity.

Majid, a former defence minister and cousin of the executed dictator, was condemned to death for "premeditated murders as crimes against humanity".

Chemical Ali and Aziz were accused with 12 other officials of Hussein's regime of involvement in the deaths of dozens of Shiites in 1999 in the Sadr City district of Baghdad, and in the central shrine city of Najaf.

Among the 12 other officials, former army officer Mahmud Faizi al-Hazaa and senior Baath Party official Aziz Saleh Hassan were also condemned to death.
Huh?

I find it strange that he has been sentenced to death twice before and they let him live to be tried again.  :hammer:

I only wish that he could actually be executed three times.

In this country he'd live on another 25 years or so with various appeals on the gubmint dime.  Then there'd be a candlelight vigil on the eve of his execution.   :whatever:
