Iraq
Chemical Ali to be hanged in Kurdistan
2007-06-28
BAGHDAD (AP) — Saddam Hussein's cousin Ali Hassan al-Majid, known as "Chemical Ali," and two other regime officials will probably be hanged in Kurdistan if the appeals court upholds their death sentences, an Iraqi official said Tuesday. The official said no final decision had been taken but the executions would probably take place in either Irbil or Halabja.

Death sentences are automatically appealed, and the appellate court faces no time limit in reviewing cases. If the sentences are upheld, executions are supposed to take place within 30 days.

#5  Frank, let's be fair just let him loose in the center of tuwn in a jogging suit. If he can out run the crowd and makes it to Turkey he's scott free. Must be simple to outrun a few thousand kurds.

#3  If he drops far enough maybe his head will pop off and the locals can use it for that polo-like thing they do - or is that only in Afghanistan?

#2  Ditto.

I'd prefer to hear he was to be executed with the same chemicals he used on the Kurds. But a 4" drop with piano wire around his neck until very dead would be acceptable. In public. With free throw-away cameras for everybody.
