Sentences in Iraq's Anfal Trial
Sunday, June 24, 2007

By The Associated Press

Specific sentences and charges against the six former Saddam Hussein regime officials in the so-called Anfal trial in Iraq, according to the International Center for Transitional Justice:

Ali Hassan al-Majid, Saddam Hussein's cousin, also known as "Chemical Ali."
Five death sentences for genocide, willful killing, forced disappearances and extermination as crimes against humanity, and intentionally directing attacks against a civilian population as a war crime. Multiple prison terms ranging from seven years to life for other inhumane acts.

I wish him a slow and painful death.

Justice is slow but better late than never. Swing High Swing Low Ali

May the drop not snap his neck and he dies a slow agonizing death.

Even the Tikritis hated this guy. A couple of his family members were dragged out of their home and killed after the war, and in the heartland of Saddam's supporters.

The guy's old house is a combination of a mansion and bunker, positioned about 3 miles west of Tikrit. It looks a giant sand dune from afar. You get closer in and around to the front side and there is a giant overhang underwhich you pass to get to the entrance, then the lavishness of the home becomes apparent. The guy was probably surpised he didn't meet death by GBU during the initial push, he was obviously prepared for it. Maybe the dune ploy worked...
