'Chemical Ali' sentenced to death in Iraq

'Chemical Ali' sentenced to death in Iraq AP - .
Ali Hassan al-Majid, Saddam Hussein's notorious cousin, known as 'Chemical Ali,' listens as a special Iraqi court sentenced him to death Tuesday, Dec. 2, 2008, in Baghdad, Iraq, after convicting him of crimes against humanity while crushing the 1991 Shiite uprising in southern Iraq. Ali Hassan al-Majid already faces death by hanging after being convicted last year for his role in the killing of tens of thousands of Kurds in a crackdown in the late 1980s. But that execution has been delayed by legal wrangling.
