Iraqi Court Sentences Tariq Aziz to 10 Years for Saddam-Era Crimes Against Shiite Kurds

BAGHDAD -- An Iraqi court on Monday convicted Tariq Aziz, Saddam Hussein's longtime foreign minister, of terrorizing Shiite Kurds during the Iran-Iraq war, sentencing him to 10 years in prison.

The jail term piles a new penalty on the 74-year-old Aziz, who already faces an execution sentence from another case.

Aziz was spared the death penalty in the Saddam-era crimes against humanity because he had a lesser involvement in the atrocities than some of his co-defendants, said Mohammed Abdul-Sahib, a spokesman for the Iraqi High Tribunal. The case involves crimes targeting Iraq's small sect of Shiite Kurds, known as Faili.

I think he beat feet to Syria once it became glaringly obvious that Saddam wasn't going to throw the American Imperialists into the sea anytime soon.
