| 'Chemical Ali' returned to US detention facility after heart attack |
| 2008-04-23 |
| Saddam Hussein's cousin, whose execution has been delayed for months in a complex legal and political battle, was returned to a US detention facility on Tuesday after suffering a heart attack, US officials said. Ali Hassan al-Majid, known as "Chemical Ali" for the strikes he ordered against Kurds in the 1980s, was admitted to a US medical facility on Sunday. His lawyer, Badee Izzat Aref, said al-Majid had suffered a heart attack after going on a hunger strike with other defendants. A US military official familiar with the medical records confirmed that al-Majid had suffered a heart attack but said he was in stable condition and had been returned to a US detention facility. |

| #3 No, Old Patriot, you let him die of natural causes and Justice is NOT served that way, look for "The US is powerless" riots if that happens and he's NOT executed. Hang him on his deathbed if necessary, but DO NOT let him die Unexecuted. |

| #2 #1: They'd better get moving on executing him or he'll die of natural causes first. Maybe that's what they're hoping, MS6713. |
