BAGHDAD - Even in Saddam Hussein's ruthless regime, "Chemical Ali" stood apart, notorious for his role in gassing 5,000 people in a Kurdish village - the deadliest chemical weapons attack ever against civilians. Ali Hassan al-Majid was hanged Monday, leaving a notorious legacy that stamped Saddam's regime as capable of unimaginable cruelty and brought unsettling questions about Iraq's stockpiles of poison gas and whether it could unleash them again.

Alaui precisó que su gobierno había obtenido el traspaso bajo su autoridad de "Sadam Husein y 11 pilares del ex régimen", agregando que serían "juzgados por el Tribunal Especial (iraquí, TSI) formado por jueces iraquíes" y creado para juzgar a Sadam Husein. El TSI anunció haber lanzado órdenes de arresto contra el presidente y 11 dignatarios del ex régimen, entre los que figuran el viceprimer ministro Tarek Aziz, el vicepresidente Taha Yasin Ramadán y Alí Hasan Al Majid, alias "Alí el Químico", consejero presidencial y primo del derrocado presidente. El ministro de la Justicia, Malek Dohan Al Hasan indicó que Sadam Husein ya no gozará del estatuto de prisionero de guerra que le fue acordado por las fuerzas estadounidenses tras su captura en diciembre de 2003.

BAGHDAD -- Saddam Hussein's notorious cousin "Chemical Ali" was convicted Sunday and sentenced to hang for ordering the most infamous of his crimes, the attacks against the Kurdish town of Halabja that killed more than 5,000 people in clouds of poisonous gas. The fourth death sentence against Ali Hassan al-Majid for crimes against humanity serves as a reminder that victims of Saddam's atrocities remain determined to seek justice, as some politicians stoke the lingering bitterness toward the old Sunni-led regime to cement the Shiite domination that supplanted it.
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - The U.S. military condemned the publication Friday of photographs showing an imprisoned Saddam Hussein naked except for his white underwear, and ordered an investigation of how the pictures were leaked to a tabloid. Some Iraqis expressed anger, but President Bush said he did not think the images would incite further anti-American sentiment. More revealing pictures were published Saturday in the British tabloid, The Sun, including one of Saddam seen through barbed wire wearing a white robe-like garment, and another of Ali Hassan al- Majid, better known as "Chemical Ali," in a bathrobe and holding a towel.
Tras Sadam también comparecieron el ex viceprimer ministro Tariq Aziz; Alí Hasan Al Majid, alias "Alí el Químico"; el ex vice-presidente Taha Yassin Ramadan y dos hermanastros del presidente derrocado. Abdel Rahim Al Rifaei, portavoz de Alaui, dijo al canal de televisión árabe Al Yazira que, conforme al sistema penal iraquí, Sadam recibirá 24 horas para responder a las acusaciones. Por otro lado, las fuerzas estadounidenses siguen buscando al cabo de la Infantería de Marina Wassef Alí Hassoun, de origen libanés. El martes, su situación fue cambiada de "desaparecido" a "capturado" y algunos creen que no fue secuestrado, sino que desertó de su unidad donde actuaba como intérprete. Esta operación empleó armas de precisión para atacar la guarida y pone de manifiesto la decisión de las fuer...

BAGHDAD - Ali Hassan al-Majid, a symbol of the former government of Saddam Hussein who ordered a poison gas attack on a Kurdish village in northern Iraq, was executed Monday. The government announced his execution shortly after three devastating bombings struck hotels in Baghdad on Monday, killing 36 people, in what appeared to be a coordinated attack. The timing of the attacks gave rise to speculation that they were timed to protest al-Majid's execution.
