Justice...
IRAQ'S presidency council has approved the execution of Saddam Hussein's cousin, known as "Chemical Ali", for masterminding a genocidal campaign against Iraq's Kurds in the 1980s.
State TV yesterday reported the decision in the case of Ali Hassan al-Majeed. The approval appears to remove the last legal obstacle to Majeed's execution.
The execution of Majeed, once one of the most feared men in Iraq, and two others for the genocidal Anfal campaign against Iraq's Kurds in the 1980s has been delayed for months by a legal wrangle over who has the authority to green-light the hangings.
