American Army in Iraq ready to hand over convict to Iraqi govt.

(KUNA) -- The American Army declared on Wednesday that it would hand over to the Iraqi Government the notorious convict, Ali Hassan Al-Majid, also widely known as "Chemical Ali" for spearheading massacres against Iraqi kurds with chemical agents.

The official spokesman of the Multi-National Force said at a news conference that the Iraqi Government has not requested the handover of the convict for execution, in line with a recent approval of the presidency of a court death sentence. On March 1, Iraqi Vice-President Tareq al-Hashimi said the Iraqi Presidency had unanimously approved the execution of Ali Hassan Al-Majid, better known as Chemical Ali. But it has decided to delay the hanging of other defendants Sultan Hashim and Hussein Rashid, al-Hahimi Office said in a release. Chemical Ali was condemned to death for genocide charges for killing 100, 000 people during the 1988 Anfal campaign against the Kurds in northern Iraq.
