Iraq's 'Chemical Ali' sentenced to death

Описание: Saddam Hussein's notorious henchman "Chemical Ali" was sentenced to death on Sunday for ordering the gassing of Kurds in the Iraqi town of Halabja, a brutal attack that killed an estimated 5,000 people. Ali Hassan al-Majid is to die by hanging, having been found guilty of the atrocity in the northeast of the country as the Iran-Iraq war drew to a close in 1988. The ruling, shown on the state-run Al-Iraqiya television channel, is the fourth time that Majid has received a death sentence. Duration: 00:45
