Uh….Ali, I’ve got some bad news for you– or is that bad NOOSE?
An Iraq court on Sunday sentenced three former aides to Saddam Hussein, including the man known as “Chemical Ali,” to death by hanging for their role in a 1980s genocide campaign that that killed up to 100,000 Kurds.
Ali Hassan al-Majid, Hussein’s first cousin, earned his nickname for atrocities committed in a military campaign code-named Operation Anfal during the 1980-88 Iraq-Iran war.
In the scorched earth attacks, poisonous gas and chemicals were used against the Kurds.
Sorry Ali…time to say goodbye.. Buh-BYE.
