| Is Ali Hassan toe-tagged? |
| 2003-04-06 |
| The US military says it has established that an airstrike has killed a bodyguard of senior Iraqi commander dubbed "Chemical Ali". Senior US briefers say they have had positive identification. It is still not known if Ali Hassan al-Majeed was killed when laser-guided missiles hit a house in Basra in which he was thought to have been staying. When news of the bodyguard's death reached local people, up to 3,000 took to the streets to celebrate, Sky's Geoff Meade has been told by the briefers at Central Command in Qatar. I guess they're still scraping up bits and pieces. Hope some of them belong to Ali Hassan... |
